Add Tools to an Instant Meeting

Note Your IBM^(R) Lotus^(R) Sametime^(R) server must have Web conferencing capability in order to use this feature.

When you initiate an instant meeting, or at any time during the meeting, you can add tools to your meeting. Some of the tools require additional software or hardware, such as speakers and video cameras. You can add tools one time only, but you can add more than one tool at one time. For example, if you add screen sharing, you cannot click add tools again to add audio.

Before you start an instant meeting or during an instant meeting:

1. Click Add tools.
2. Select the tools you want to use:
• Screen sharing -- to share your screen with meeting attendees.
• Whiteboard -- to present an attached file or use the whiteboard tools to highlight portions of a presentation.
• Audio -- to use the microphone in your computer, or use your phone to access the audio portion of a meeting.
• Video -- to use one or more video cameras to view participants in the meeting.
3. Click Send.

Once you are in the meeting, you are in the Lotus Sametime Meeting Room client. Click Help > Help Topics for information about working in meetings.
