Scheduled Web conferences
Web conferencing is rapidly becoming a mainstream tool for communication and collaboration.
Organizations use Web conferencing to help people work more efficiently and share information with
colleagues when in different locations. Today’s world of work has changed, and businesses need Web
conferencing solutions that support communication circumstances that range from a spontaneous
meeting between two people collaborating on a document, to large-scale training and events with
hundreds of participants.
Office Communications Server 2007 R2 offers users the ability to create and join scheduled conferences
hosted on internal corporate servers. These conferences can include IM, audio, video, slide
presentations, and other forms of data collaboration.
Conferences can be conducted with authenticated corporate users who are inside or outside the
firewall, external authenticated users across federated links, or anonymous users.
Support for organizations hosting Web conferences or using a service
Web conferences can be held on an organization’s on-premises Office Communications Server 2007
R2. Alternatively, if an organization does not want to host its Web conferences, Microsoft offers a
service-based solution via Office Live Meeting. Users can connect to a Web conference with the same
client, regardless of whether the conference is hosted by the organization’s IT department or by
Microsoft. This reduces training hurdles and simplifies client management.
Conferencing add-in for Office Outlook 2007
Users can install the Conferencing add-in for Outlook
Office 2007 and can schedule Office Live Meeting
conferences and Office Communicator Conference
calls from Office Outlook 2007.
