Sharing information in Live Meeting

• There are two ways to share documents in
  Microsoft Live Meeting
• Desktop Application Sharing
• Any application or document type can be opened on
  the presenters computer can be displayed to the
  audience.
• Upload document to Live Meeting
• Documents are uploaded, automatically converted
  to LMP format, and reside on the server for
  faster display to participants, but must be in a
  supported format (MS Office and others).

Desktop Application Sharing

• The advantage to application sharing from the
  students desktop is that any program can be
  simply and quickly displayed.
• The disadvantage is slower display response times
  for the other participants and display resolution
  conflicts.
• Students with lower screen resolutions may not be
  able to see the entire presentation.
• NOTE Due to the delay and sizing issues, this
  is not the recommended method. Uploading any
  compatible documents to Live Meeting is
  preferable.

  documents will give superior response time for
  all participants over application sharing.

  and sent out to everyone at the same time.

  time as all participants.

Final Notes

• Large, high resolution images will take longer to
  upload and display in Microsoft Live Meeting. Try
  to compress graphics.
• Animations or complex slide transitions that look
  great locally will mostly be lost across the
  network. Try to avoid motion.
• Focus on content and presentation skills. A
  slight pause and silence is better than
  constantly saying Ummmm.
