Microsoft NetMeeting (for windows only)

Features

|Video and Audio Conferencing |Netmeeting connects you to any one person so you can |

|[pic] |share ideas, information and programs while using audio|

| |and video. |

| | |

| |You can send and receive real-time images, and use a |

| |video camera to instantly view items. |

| | |

| |This screen shows what the netmeeting window will look |

| |like when in a connection. |

| | |

|IP Address |To find out what the computers IP address is, on the |

|[pic] |menu bar, select Help/About Netmeeting. |

| | |

| |Stated in the lower left corner is the IP address for |

| |the computer. |

| | |

| |The IP address is then used to contact another |

| |computer. Similar to a phone number. |

|Make a phone call |When you know the IP address you are to call, simply |

|[pic] |type the IP address in the box above the video and |

| |click the Place a Call button. |

| | |

| |The receiving computer must accept the call before |

| |being connected. |

| | |

| |When you are ready to disconnect a call, simply click |

| |the End Call button. |

|Viewing video |After you get connected, you will see both names in the|

|[pic] |connection in the bottom of the window. |

| | |

| |To view both videos (yours and the recipients) click |

| |the Picture-in-Picture button located below the video. |

| | |

| |If you do not see any video, on the menu bar, select |

| |Tools/Video. Make sure both the Send and the Receive |

| |options are checked. |

|Chat |One way to communicate is the chat window. By |

|[pic][pic] |selecting the chat window, you can speak to one |

| |another without needing a microphone or speakers. |

| |This is the way we will use for our class |

| |assignment. |

|Whiteboard |Another communication tool is the Whiteboard. This|

|[pic][pic] |tool allows for both to create a picture at the |

| |same time. We will use this to design a specific |

| |topic image that both students will participate in |

| |drawing. |

The following features we will not use in class, however you may find use for them at other times.

|File Transfer |Lets you send files to as many of the participants |

| |as you wish during a conference. The receiving |

| |participant has the choice to accept or reject the |

| |file. |

|Program Sharing |Lets you: |

| |-view shared programs in a frame, which makes it |

| |easy to distinguish between shared and local |

| |applications on your desktop. |

| |-minimize the shared program. |

| |-easily switch between shared programs using the |

| |taskbar. |

| |-choose to allow one person to work in the shared |

| |program at a time. |

|Internet Directory |Helps you locate people connected to the Internet |

| |and allows you to connect to one or more of the |

| |listed people. |

|Remote Desktop Sharing |Lets users call a remote computer to access its |

| |shared desktop and applications. |

|Security |Netmeeting uses data encryption, user |

| |authentication, and password protection to ensure |

| |your security. |

|Advanced Calling |Allows you the flexibility to send a mail message |

| |to a NetMeeting user or to initiate a NetMeeting |

| |call directly from your mail address book. |

|Where to get NetMeeting |NetMeeting is a free download and you do not need a|

| |camera to use most of the features. |
