Communicating in a Meeting

In a meeting, you can use computer audio and video to speak as though you were in a face-to-face meeting, or you can use Meeting Room chat to send a written message to everyone in the meeting.

Use the following tips to communicate more effectively during your meeting:

• If you plan to use computer audio and video, be sure to test your audio and video before the meeting. Read "Preparing to Use Audio and Video" for more information.



• When you use Meeting Room chat, remember that everyone in the meeting can read your message. If you need to speak to only a few people in the meeting, select their names in the Participant List, right-click, and choose New Chat to start an instant chat meeting.



• Use computer audio and video when you are presenting information during a meeting. Use Meeting Room chat for a quick comment or observation or when you want to send a message to the other participants without interrupting the person who is currently speaking.
