Getting Started with Unified Communications

Conferencing

With Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 and Microsoft Office Live Meeting, you can add a variety
of communication modes to conference sessions, including phone, video, and even full Web
conferencing and data sharing with Live Meeting.

The conferencing capabilities described below require you to have conferencing capabilities enabled in
your organization. If you are not sure whether conferencing capabilities are enabled, contact your
system administrator.

workers using Microsoft Office Communicator 2007. For more formal presentations that require you
to present Web slides, or that require application sharing, you can schedule a more formal Live
Meeting conference. Table 2 below helps you decide which conferencing method to use.
