Installation and Configuration

click the Download files below link, and then double-click
LMAddinPack.exe. (Note: If you are a Live Meeting Administrator and want
to programmatically deploy the Live Meeting Add-in Pack in your company,
download and deploy the LMAddinPack.msi file.)

3.       Click Run. Any previous
version of the Live Meeting Add-ins will be removed before the latest version
is installed. Your current Live Meetings and any settings will be retained.

4.       After the Live Meeting Add-in pack
has finished installing, the User Preferences dialog box is
automatically displayed. If you had a previous version of the Add-ins installed
and working, the information should already be correct. Otherwise, select how
you will specify your login information.

If you know your user
login and password:

a.   Click I use a
User Login and Password to access Live Meeting.

b.   Click Live
Meeting URL, and then type the URL of your conference center (for example,
https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/microsoft).

c.   Click User
Login and type your Live Meeting User ID.

d.   Click Password
and type your Live Meeting password.

If you don’t
know your user login and password:

a.   Click I use
an Intranet Portal to access Live Meeting.

b.   Click Portal URL and type the
URL of your Intranet portal (for example, http://lmportal). When using the
Intranet Portal, you must be logged in to the corporate network to schedule
Live Meetings.

Note: When using the Intranet
Portal, you must be logged in to the corporate network to schedule Live
Meetings.

5.       To verify your login information,
click Test Connection, and then click OK.

Note: You may be prompted to open and close Outlook before the Live Meeting
Add-in for Outlook appears.

Functionality Overview

This
section describes the functionality of the various add-ins.

Live Meeting Add-in for Outlook

·          You can schedule a Live Meeting from
Outlook by clicking Schedule Live Meeting.

·          You can specify Attendees and
Presenters through the Attendees and Presenters dialog box.

·          Two different invitations are sent:
one to Attendees and the other to Presenters.

·          You can specify Meeting Options and
Meeting Options defaults.

·          Meetings scheduled through the Live
Meeting Add-in for Outlook are reflected in Live Meeting Manager. Likewise,
meetings scheduled through Live Meeting Manager are displayed in your Outlook
calendar.

·          You can start a Meet Now meeting from
Outlook. To invite Meet Now participants, you must send invitations from the
meeting console.

·          Organizers can schedule Live
Meetings while offline (Microsoft Outlook 2003 only). Meeting requests are sent
once the user is back online.

Live Meeting Add-in for Office Collaboration

·          You can start a Meet Now meeting
directly from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project and Visio (except for Visio
2000). The current document appears in an application sharing session.

Live Meeting Add-in for Instant Messaging

·          You can start a Live Meeting from Office
Communicator, Windows Messenger, or MSN Messenger. The recipient must have the
Live Meeting Add-in Pack or the Live Meeting Add-in for Joining from Instant
Messaging installed.

Known Issues

·          You cannot schedule recurring Live
Meetings through Microsoft Outlook.

·          You cannot track attendee acceptance
through the Tracking tab of Live
Meeting requests.

·          The Delegate Access
functionality in Microsoft Outlook cannot be used in conjunction with the Live
Meeting Add-in for Outlook.

·          To permanently delete a Live Meeting
scheduled for a date in the past, you must click Remove From Service.

·          Requests from attendees for a new
meeting time for a Live Meeting will not be recognized by Outlook.

·          You must specify a subject when
scheduling a Live Meeting.

·          Auto-archiving does not work with
Live Meetings. Live Meetings that have been auto-archived will reappear in your
calendar as soon as Microsoft Outlook retrieves updates from the Live Meeting
service. To permanently remove Live Meetings from your calendar, click Remove
From Service.

·          Live Meeting toolbar buttons that
have been moved to the toolbar overflow area will not work. The recommendation
is to position the toolbar so that all buttons are always displayed.

·          You cannot schedule a Live Meeting on
the service without having at least one address on the To: line. To work
around this issue, add your own e-mail address to the To:
line.

·          Whenever you update a Live Meeting in
Microsoft Outlook (for example, add people, update Meeting Options,
etc.) you must send updates for the changes to be reflected on the Live Meeting
service.

·          Outlook 2000 users who have a POP
account will send Live Meeting email invitations instead of meeting requests.
To send meeting requests, users must chose Rich Text Format when composing
messages.  This option can be found
under Tools > Options > Mail
Format.

·          Audio conferencing information may
not be listed correctly if you have migrated from an earlier version of the
Live Meeting service. Live Meeting 2003 had two free-form text fields in which
many people stored their audio information. When the Live Meeting conference
center was upgraded to Live Meeting 2005, the contents of those fields were
inserted into some of the fields in the Audio portion of your Meeting
Options. Depending upon how the original text was configured, this migrated
information may not be valid. You can fix this by editing the Audio
portion of the Meeting Options page in Live Meeting Manager.

·          The Live Meeting transport may be
listed several times in your Microsoft Outlook Send/Receive dialog box. This
can occur when Microsoft Outlook is downloading or updating the Outlook Global
Address Book. This is not related to Live Meeting. The Live Meeting transport
is simply one of the items waiting to be processed. When Microsoft Outlook
completes processing the Global Address Book, the remaining items on the Send/Receive
dialog box will be processed very quickly.

Basic Connectivity and Configuration
Troubleshooting

To verify
that the Live Meeting Add-in Pack is configured properly to communicate with the
Live Meeting service:

1.       Click User Preferences on the Live Meeting toolbar
in the supported Microsoft Office applications. (User Preferences is available
from the Start menu for Office Communicator and Messenger users.)

2.       Click Test Connection to see if the Live Meeting
Add-in Pack can communicate with the Live Meeting service.

a)      If it can, you will get a message that states: “Your
Live Meeting login information was successfully verified.”

b)      If it cannot, you will get an error message. Fix the issue
described in the error message, and then click Test Connection again.

To verify that your Live Meeting conference center is
available:

1.       Browse to your conference center
(i.e., https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/yourconferencecenter)
and log in.

2.       If you can log in, then the service
is running.

3.       If the service is not running, wait
and try again later.
