Live Meeting Rocks!!!!
I've really been getting into webcasts recently on Microsoft TechNet. These webcasts are poduced using Microsoft Live Meeting 2005. Live Meeting is a great product allowing you to deliver live training sessions or conferences direct to your customers or staff.
The meetings are live broadcasts consisting of a presenter running through a PowerPoint deck and combining this with a series of demos. Basically you can show anything on your PC : word docs, websites, audio, live vocal, images etc.
To join the meeting, delegates simply click a link contained in an email and log-on to the webcast. There is also interaction between the presenter(s) and delegates. This can be controlled as much or as little as desired.
As a delegate, you get a seating plan, so you can really feel how many people are tuned-in. You also get a feedback-to-presenter tool. This allows the delegates to vote or give opinions on topics being covered. Plus you get a Q and A tool, allowing you to submit questions to the presenter(s).
The power to be able to deliver direct to the delegate, without the need for travel and time away from the office is unbelievable. This presents an affordable and viable option for any company to give presentations direct to decision makers, without the need of a trip to Dubai.
It also presents an interesting "add-on" value when selling the product. Live Meeting can be used to transmit the message to customers, partners, sales staff, outlets, employees and internal customers.
If you can't contain yourself, and wish to view a webcast about live meeting, I have uploaded a Windows Media Player file to our sever below:

Bear in mind that the Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005 client interface is far more textural and detailed than what you see in Windows Media Player.
