There are two meeting clients for Office Live Meeting users: a Windows-based meeting client and a Web-based meeting client.
-
Live Meeting Windows-based meeting client. The Live Meeting Windows-based meeting client is a full-featured Windows program that you install on the user’s computer. Live Meeting users with Windows-based computers should use the Windows-based meeting client because it offers features that are not available with the Web-based meeting client.
-
Web-based Office Live Meeting client. The Web-based meeting client is an alternative for users of the Office Live Meeting service who cannot install or run the Windows-based meeting client, usually because their computer runs an operating system that is not compatible with the Windows-based meeting client, such as Microsoft® Windows® 98, Sun® Solaris™, or Apple® Macintosh®. The Web-based meeting client is a Java-based program that runs on any of the Java virtual machines specified in the system requirements section later in this guide. The Web-based meeting client does not require installation of any files; it runs as a Java applet in the user’s Web browser. However, hosting application sharing using the Web-based meeting client does require installation of application sharing files. There are some limitations when connecting with the Web-based client. For a list of features that are available in the Windows-based client, but not the Web-based client, see table below.
Note
The Web-based meeting client is not available to users of Office Communications Server 2007.
Modifying the Join Meeting URL to Automatically Start the Web-Based Client
In Office Live Meeting 2007, users can modify the URL they use to join the meeting so that the Web-based client automatically starts and joins the meeting. To automatically start the Web-based client, the user can change the "join" portion of the meeting URL to "webjoin," as shown in the following example:
Old URL:
http://www.livemeeting.com/cc/contoso/join?id=25MW6S&role=present&pw=3%22%7C2%7B%3CtfT
New URL:
http://www.livemeeting.com/cc/contoso/webjoin?id=25MW6S&role=present&pw=3%22%7C2%7B%3CtfT
