Start an unscheduled online meeting

All participants must have Windows NetMeeting running on their computers to receive an invitation to an unscheduled online meeting.

  1. Open the file you want to share.
  2. On the Tools menu, point to Online Collaboration, and then click Meet Now.
  3. Do one of the following:
  4. In the Find Someone dialog box, select the name of the person you want to invite, and then click Call. Repeat this step for each additional person you want to invite.
  5. Close the Find Someone dialog box to view the list of participants who have accepted your meeting request.

Note   The first time you start an online meeting, you will be prompted to select any of the directory servers from the list in the Server name box under Directory. If you are a corporate user, you should ask your system administrator for the name of a directory server you can connect to.

Tip

If the name of the person you want to invite doesn't appear in the list, select another directory from the Select a directory list.
