® Office Live Meeting, offered by InterCall, is a web conferencing solution that offers a wide range of features to keep you connected.
-
Streamlined Console Design
Put the focus on your content when you simplify common tasks. With the streamlined design, you decide which elements you want to reveal on your console and eliminate distractions for your audience.
-
Rich Multimedia Options
Keep attendees engaged and make your presentation more memorable with multimedia options like movie clips, Flash animations and audio files.
-
Webcam
Live Meeting integrated video allows you to use your webcam to enhance the meeting experience, bringing you face to face with your audience. If allowed, attendees with webcams can also show their video to the audience.
-
Audio Controls
Manage the audio portion of your meeting without having to rely on a phone or remember telephone keypad commands. With the audio controls on the screen during your Live Meeting session, it takes just the click of a mouse to dial out to participants or mute/unmute their lines.
-
Schedule Meetings and Invite Participants
Perform scheduling and invitation tasks directly from your Outlook® interface using the Outlook Plug-in without having to log into your Live Meeting account. The plug-in lets you set up defaults and preferences including invitation copy and audio conference dial-in information. If you do not use Outlook, you can perform these tasks from within your Live Meeting account using your own email and calendaring application. You can also use the Meet Now option, which lets you start a meeting with a single click.
-
Custom Slides
Add a text slide, whiteboard, web page, polling questions or snapshots to your PowerPoint® presentation. These custom slides add functionality and collaborative options to your standard slide presentation. The slide titles will appear in the presentation index for easy transition. You can reorder or rename your slides right from the meeting interface.
-
Live Q&A
Let audience members ask questions and get answers without interrupting the presenter. While one person is presenting, another can serve as co-presenter and immediately respond to questions. Answers can be provided directly to the questioner or shared with the entire audience.
-
Seating Chart and Mood Indicators
Enable audience members to change their seat colors to visually communicate their level of understanding or desired pace without interrupting your session. The seating chart shows who is in a session.
-
Safe Transfer of Handouts
Distribute files during your meetings in their native file format, making it easy to provide relevant materials with no need to email them later. Live Meeting session files are virus-scanned during both upload and download when distributing handouts and when uploading all other files to the Live Meeting Server. Virus signatures are frequently and automatically updated.
-
Print to PDF
Save and print the presentation content locally. There is no waiting to distribute pertinent conference content—everyone has instant access to the materials that are being discussed.
-
Powerful Reporting Tools
See who attended your conference and for how long. View statistics on each of your recordings to measure how they are being used and by whom. Reports are exportable in standard CSV format so they can be used with other systems.
-
Shared Notes
The shared notes feature is an effective way to allow notes to be created during the event that are available for all attendees to download. Basic formatting is available in the Shared Notes pane and the notes can be saved locally by each participant of the meeting.
-
High Fidelity Recordings and Playback
Record and save a copy of your session. Capture everything in your conference including the live demonstrations, annotations, notes, visuals and even live web slides. Recordings can be saved on a Live Meeting server by the presenter, or on the presenter’s or attendees’ local computer. High fidelity playback features, including a quick search and chapter index, enable a quick and focused review of meeting content. Access controls allow you to choose open, limited or secure access to your recordings. You can even view reports to see recording usage trends. Please note that there is a fee to use the Recording tool, but once your web conference is recorded, you can access the playback as often as you like for no additional charge.
