Microsoft introduces new meeting features

Tuesday, 10 Mar, 2005 0

Microsoft Corp. says it has a set of new applications designed to improve virtual meetings.

The new applications are meant to improve meetings by integrating communications through web conferencing, instant messaging, e-mail and traditional and web-based telephony.

Microsoft has also upgraded its web-conferencing application, Live Meeting. It can accommodate meetings of hundreds of virtual attendees.

A new application to Live Meeting delivers the audio portion of a web conference via streaming audio over the internet (in addition to the telephone, which is commonly used for audio).

Improvements to Live Meeting also include the capacity to send web conference invitations from Microsoft Outlook through e-mails and telephone calls.

Microsoft also announced a new instant messaging program called Microsoft Office Communicator that can track whether users are online or available for a meeting. Messages can also be routed to telephones, e-mails and instant messages. Users can connect and meet whether they are working at their computers or mobile phones.
