Windows Vista introduced Windows Meeting Space as a current edition to the newest program. This is the new replacement for Net Meeting. It's truly a collaboration tool as it takes us much further than we were ever able to go to in the past. There is, however, one limitation that you need to be aware of: Meeting Space only works with Windows Vista. If you are trying to connect and collaborate to someone who is still on Windows XP you will not be able to use Meeting Space. I've placed a shortcut on my Desktop to get to Meeting Space, but I'd like you to be aware that if you go to your Start button, All Programs, you will see Meeting Space right within your first range of choices. All we need to do is double-click and it takes us to the screen that asks us if we're ready to set it up. I am, so I shall say Yes. Now, as it goes through it wants to know: What would you like your display name to be? You'll notice that it'll sign you in automatically. However, if you would prefer, for security reasons, to start Meeting Space manually, just remove this checkmark. It is actually recommended that you do not start it automatically unless you can ensure that you have a completely safe network. You'll also notice that you can set up who you allow invitations from. I can set it up to anyone, or contacts that are listed as a Trusted site. Again, be cautious of your security when making these decisions. You'll notice that Privacy Information comes up right away. Keep in mind that addresses are visible to all people in your local network. You may not want to have that information published. You'll also notice that you can go further in detail to a Trusted contact and for Full Privacy Statements. Although it is not necessary to know how to set up a Trusted contact for the Examination, you should be familiar with what Trusted contacts are and where you would go. As a result, I recommend reading this Help information. I'm going to say OK to start the screen. Now, here you'll notice that in starting all I need to do is start a brand new meeting. When I start a meeting it will ask for the Meeting Name. I'm going to allow it to default to my name and the time. It'll also ask you for a Password, and I'm simply going to type in Password. Now, just in case you cannot remember what you typed, notice that there is a check to actually show the characters. This allows you to double check your password and then once again go ahead and hide it. I'm going to the next screen and I am now in Meeting Space. In Meeting Space I am able to share a program, or my entire Desktop. The idea is, when I start a Shared Session you will see exactly what I am seeing on the screen. Now, keep in mind also that in the upper right-hand corner it tells you who is participating. Notice that they'll let you know if they are Available; if they're Busy; if they're just Away; or if they're going to be Right Back in just a second, they've just picked up a phone call. You can also go into Personal Settings and you can change your picture; change whether or not you want to be automatically signed in. You'll notice that there is a Sign In tab also. This allows you to Sign Out to people that are near you. Here's where our Privacy Statement comes in one more time. It is very easy to invite people to your actual meeting. Simply select Invite People, a list of everyone connected to your network will appear automatically. If I invite somebody that is out of the network I'll simply go to Invite Others. When I'm ready I'll just close out. You'll also notice that there is a section for Handouts. If I choose to Add a Handout, you might want to be aware of the fact that the Handout is copied to each participant's computer. We are not sharing it at this point, but doing a full copy. These are the types of questions that you want to be prepared for on the Examination. Once again, I'll simply say OK, and it takes me right into my computer to add a file itself. I'm going to choose to Cancel as I'm not actually in a live meeting. Once we're in the meeting itself you will know that there will be a section that allows you to Enter or Leave. You can always get back in to invite someone else at any given time, and you can also go to Share a session that you have started. Again, the idea here is they'll see exactly what's on the screen. I can even go so far as to add the Handouts right from the top screen. Inside of the meeting itself you will be in control, however, to keep the collaboration alive, if it's necessary to pass control to someone else you can. At any given time I can request control of the meeting, in which case the cursor is sent over to me. I can now make movements about and then can send it back to the originator or the MC. of the meeting itself. It is important to be comfortable with Meeting Space. The Examination questions tend to revolve around setup, however, I strongly recommend that you go through a meeting with someone else to be comfortable with the tasks that people can actually perform. Remember, Meeting Space will go in and detect your Network. If you're in the office go to someone else that has Vista. Remember, again, it only works in Microsoft Windows Vista. Invite them to a meeting, share some files, and see for yourself what a wonderful collaboration tool this is. Remember also, when we talk about Collaboration we also talk about Sharing, which we're going to cover later.
