What is MS
NetMeeting?
MS Netmeeting is a conferencing package
developed by Microsoft and distributed freely from their
web site and promotional CDs. As of the time of
writing, the final release of version 2 is available
from the Microsoft web site.Like all conferencing
software, MS NetMeeting has the following features:
- text chat
- file transfer
- shared whiteboard
- audio and video (switchable one-to one)
There is additional feature that NetMeeting has - the
ability to share an application. This means that I
can start a software package on my machine and the click
Share from the toolbar and everyone connected to me in MS
NetMeeting can see the application on their screens even
though it is running on my computer. NetMeeting
allows you to go one step further - let a remote user
take control of the application. By click on
Collaborate on the toolbar, I can make the application
running on my machine available to a remote user to take
control. The application is running on my machine
but you can use it to create, edit, open, save etc a
document on my machine.
