Participating in a Meeting

You can participate in a meeting by:

• Using permissions: You must have permission to edit/share to edit files or to start instant meetings from the Participant List, and you must have permission to speak before you can speak during an audio/video meeting.



• Editing files: You can edit a file that another participant is sharing, or you can use the whiteboard tools to edit a file on the whiteboard.



• Responding to a poll: A poll is a question that the Moderator asks everyone in the meeting. You respond to the poll to answer the question.



• Raising your hand: You can raise your hand to get the Moderator's attention when you have something to say.



• Transferring a file to another participant: Immediately transfer a file to anyone in the Participant List of a meeting, a chat meeting, or your contact list.



• Inviting others to join the meeting: For example, if the Moderator asks a question about a project that you are working on with a coworker, you can invite the coworker to the meeting.



• Responding to an invitation: If you are invited to a meeting, you can respond to the invitation privately, join the meeting, or decline the invitation.



• Sending a chat message or speaking during the meeting



• Saving the chat from the meeting: You can save the chat transcript from the meeting to a directory on your computer.

Note There are fewer options available for participants in broadcast meetings and instant chat meetings. See "Participating in a Broadcast Meeting" and "Chatting with People" for more information.
