Eileen Brown is reporting that the LiveMeeting add-in pack is online. The ability to start a session from an IM is a great new feature I will abuse immediately. The Live Meeting Add-In Pack consists of three distinct add-ins: the Live Meeting Add-in for Outlook, the Office Collaboration Add-in, and the Live Meeting add-in for Instant Messaging, each which offer unique features.
Live Meeting Add-in for Outlook
With the Live Meeting Add-in for Outlook, you can:
* Schedule a Live Meeting from Outlook
* Identify individual meeting participants as attendees or presenters
* Send separate invitations for attendees and for presenters
* Specify default meeting options and override those defaults for specific meetings
Live Meeting Add-in for Office Collaboration
* With the Office Collaboration Add-in, you can start a Meet Now meeting directly from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, or Project. The document appears in an application sharing session.
Live Meeting Add-in for Instant Messaging
* If the recipient also has the Live Meeting Add-in Pack installed, you can start a Live Meeting from Windows Messenger or from MSN Messenger.
Update: Here is a look at it:
Download it here. If you’re one of the folks that needed any kind of support from me lately, you know how much I love this service. It is worth every penny! (well, 37,500 pennies / month / 5 users to be exact, but still worth it nonetheless)
