Playing with Live Meeting 2007
I've just been showing Claire and Maxine in the Developer Marketing team how to use Live Meeting 2007 this time as a presenter instead of a participant. I often forget how confusing things may seem when viewed from the other side of the fence so to speak. So walking them through the things that they need to be aware of as presenters reminded me to go and have a good look at the basic features of Live meeting 2007 before you get started.
Step one - if you've never seen Live Meeting before then watch the demo!
Step 2 - if you want to attend a Live meeting as a participant then I'd recommend that you attended one of the sessions held by the Live Meeting user Group and watch Chris demo the features for you. Ask the team a question on the Live meeting forum and I'm sure that someone would be glad to get you involved in some demo / training.
Step 3 - Try it out for yourself - there's a free 30 day trial that you can use for your organisation - to let you all have a play with creating meetings
Step 4 - Read the notes on "fundamentals of presenting" - and don't forget the time lag from you changing the slide - to the viewer at the other side of the world getting the slide. It's the thing that we all forget about whilst we present...
Step 5 - go and make yourself a cup of tea - after all you're working from home, you didn't need to travel in to deliver that presentation and you haven't used the car so you can feel good about your carbon emissions too - so go on - have a biscuit with the tea - you've earned it...
