Meeting Manager FeaturesDocument and presentation sharing—Lets you share any document or slide presentation with meeting attendees.

You can also allow meeting attendees to annotate a shared document or presentation and save it for offline viewing, without their need to run the application with which it was created.

Multimedia presentation and rich media sharing—Lets you share presentations that include media files, including WebEx recording, video, audio, Flash, and Web page files. You can also share standalone media files.

Whiteboard sharing—Allows meeting attendees to collaborate by drawing and writing on a whiteboard.

Application sharing—Allows meeting attendees to view any application that you run on your computer, without having to run the same application on their computers. You can optionally share control of an application on your computer with any attendee, annotate an application, and allow attendees to annotate an application.

Web browser sharing—Allows meeting attendees to share your Web browser as you navigate the Web. You can allow attendees to share control of your Web browser, annotate Web pages, and allow attendees to annotate Web pages.

Desktop sharing—Allows meeting attendees to view your computer's entire desktop, including applications and files. You can optionally share control of your desktop with any attendee, annotate your desktop, and allow attendees to annotate your desktop.

About Sharing Documents or PresentationsFor presenters only

You can share one or more documents or presentations that reside on your computer, such as those that you created using word processing, presentation, or graphics programs. Generally, you can share any document or presentation that you can print. Attendees can view the shared document or presentation in their content viewers, without the need for the application with which it was created. Attendees can also view any animation and transition effects on shared Microsoft PowerPoint slides, if you import them using the Universal Communications Format (UCF) option.

Once a meeting starts, you can open a document or presentation to share. You do not need to select it or "load" it before the meeting.

While sharing a document or presentation, you can annotate, save, and print any pages or slides. You can also use a pointer to emphasize text or graphics on a page or slide.

Page 22: Meeting Window Overview - eMeetings@Merckemeetings.merck.com/docs/user-guide.doc · Web viewMultimedia presentation and rich media sharing—Lets you share presentations that include

You also have much flexibility in how you display pages and slides to attendees. You can display pages or slides at various magnifications, in miniature (thumbnails), and in a full-screen view. To ensure that attendees are viewing the page or slide under discussion, you can synchronize their displays with the display in your content viewer.

At any time during a meeting, a presenter can grant attendees privileges that allow them to annotate, save, print, and display different views of shared pages or slides. A presenter can also allow attendees to share their own documents or presentations. 

Sharing a Document or PresentationFor presenters and attendees who have the Share documents privilege

If Meeting Manager cannot determine the application with which a document or presentation was created, you must manually open the document outside of the Meeting window. Then print the document using the ActiveTouch Document Loader, which appears in your computer's list of printers. The document then appears in the content viewer.

Performing Animations and Slide Transitions in Shared SlidesFor presenters and attendees who have the Share documents privilege

When sharing a Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation, you can perform animations on the slides and slide transitions, just as you can when using the Slide Show option in PowerPoint.

To perform animations and slide transitions, you must share the presentation as a Universal Communications Format (UCF) file (.ucf). The UCF import mode automatically converts a PowerPoint file (.ppt) to a UCF file when you share it.

To perform slide animations and transitions in a shared presentation:

1 Ensure that the content viewer has input focus by clicking in the viewer.

  The content viewer has input focus if a blue border appears around the outside of the slide in the viewer.

2 On the toolbar, do the following:

  To display the next slide or perform the next animation or slide transition, click the Next button.

To display the previous slide or preform the previous animation or slide transition, click the Previous button.

 Notes

If you want to share a presentation that was created using Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 for Windows XP, it is recommended that you use a computer

Page 24: Meeting Window Overview - eMeetings@Merckemeetings.merck.com/docs/user-guide.doc · Web viewMultimedia presentation and rich media sharing—Lets you share presentations that include

with an Intel Celeron or Pentium 500 MHz or faster processor.

Tips for Sharing Documents and PresentationsThe following tips can help you to share a document or presentation more effectively:

Page 25: Meeting Window Overview - eMeetings@Merckemeetings.merck.com/docs/user-guide.doc · Web viewMultimedia presentation and rich media sharing—Lets you share presentations that include

To ensure that Meeting Manager can import your slide presentation quickly, follow these guidelines:

  Limit the number of animations and slide transitions that you add to Microsoft PowerPoint slides.

Minimize the number of screen shots that you add to slides, especially if they are bitmap graphics. Such graphics do not compress well.

Do not include more than 20 to 30 slides in one presentation file. If you want to share more slides, create a separate presentation file for each set of 20 to 30 slides.

Keep the size of the presentation file to no more than 5 MB.

To save time during a meeting, begin sharing the document or presentation before the meeting's starting time. That way, once attendees join the meeting, they can begin viewing your presentation.

To improve the speed at which shared pages or slides appear in attendees' content viewers, do the following before attendees join the meeting:

  Save the document or presentation as a .ucf (Universal Communications Format) file, then share the .ucf file instead of the document or presentation itself. For details, see Saving a Document, Presentation, or Whiteboard.

You can annotate shared documents or presentations in the content viewer; however, you cannot edit them. If you want to edit shared information, you can use application sharing instead.

About Sharing WhiteboardsFor presenters and attendees who have the Share documents privilege

Sharing a whiteboard allows you to draw objects and type text that all attendees can see in their content viewers. You can also use a pointer to emphasize text or graphics on a whiteboard.

While sharing the whiteboard, you can display it at various magnifications, in miniature (thumbnails), and in a full-screen view. You can also save and print any whiteboards that you share. To ensure that attendees are viewing the whiteboard under discussion, you can synchronize their displays with the display in your content viewer.

If you grant annotation privileges to attendees, you and attendees can draw and type on a whiteboard simultaneously. You can also allow attendees to save, print, and display different views of shared whiteboards. For details, see Granting Document, Presentation, and Whiteboard Sharing Privileges.

About Polling AttendeesFor presenters only

During a meeting, you can poll attendees by presenting them with a questionnaire on which they can select multiple-choice answers. Taking a poll can be useful for gathering feedback from attendees, allowing attendees to vote on a proposal, testing attendees' knowledge of a topic, and so on.

To take a poll, you must first prepare a poll questionnaire. You can prepare a questionnaire at any time during a meeting. Or, to save time during a meeting, you can prepare a questionnaire before a meeting's starting time, save it, and then open it for use during the meeting.

Once attendees complete a poll, you can view the results and share them with attendees. You can also save the results of a poll for viewing outside of a meeting.
