Start an unscheduled online meeting

To receive an invitation to an unscheduled online meeting, all participants must have Microsoft Windows NetMeeting running on their computers and be logged on to a directory server.

1. Open the document you want to share.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Online Collaboration, and then click Meet Now.
3. Do one of the following:
   • If this is the first time you have used NetMeeting, the NetMeeting dialog box appears, and you need to enter information in the My Information and Directory boxes.
   • If you have used NetMeeting before, proceed to step 4.
4. In the Find Someone dialog box, locate the directory server that the person you want to invite is logged on to in the Select a directory list, select the person's name in the list, and then click Call. Repeat this step for each 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 a directory server from the list in the Server name box under Directory. If you are a corporate user, ask your system administrator for the name of a directory server you can connect to.
