About Breeze Meeting
Breeze Meeting is an online application that lets you meet instantly with colleagues, vendors, or
instructors anywhere, anytime. Using the ubiquitous Macromedia Flash plug-in and a browser,
you can enter, view, and participate in an online meeting. After you are in a meeting, you can
view media-rich content, including PowerPoint slides, digital video, FlashPaper documents, Flash
simulations, and other types of media.
You can interact and collaborate with other meeting attendees using live video and voice
broadcasts, chat messages, whiteboard drawings and annotations, and demonstrations of
applications on a presenter’s computer. You can participate in a meeting-room poll that
immediately shows the results in the meeting.
When you enter a meeting room in Breeze, you see the meeting room Stage, which typically
contains several panels (pods) of different sizes. One pod may contain a Breeze Presentation and
another lists the name and status of each meeting room attendee. Certain pods serve a specific
function such as broadcasting live video and audio from the presenter to the attendees.
