NetMeeting allows you to exchange information with friends and colleagues, to collaborate on projects, teach a class, and give presentations. During meetings, you can jointly create documents, spreadsheets, or other files without having the software on each computer. In addition, you can send files to one or all meeting participants.
Meetings can be hosted from your computer or a computer called the conferencing server. When hosting a meeting, you choose a meeting name, password, security, and who can be invited to the meeting. When hosting a meeting from a conferencing server, you can access the server and then select a meeting from a list. If a meeting is not named, you can use the default name, Personal Conference, or provide a name of your own.
You can also choose to have secure meetings, limit who can accept and invite people to the meeting, and define what tools, such as Whiteboard and Chat, can be used during the meeting.
Secure calls are data-only calls using data encryption, identity verification, and password protection. NetMeeting does not encrypt audio and video transmissions, however, you can still use password protection.
During your meeting you can communicate using Chat, audio, and video; illustrate using the Whiteboard; transfer files; and access remote computers using Remote Desktop Sharing.
