Schedule an Online Meeting
Microsoft Lync Online makes it easy for users to create, moderate and join conferences with internal and external users. A rich
user experience and a unified interface make it easy for workers to collaborate frequently and effectively, even when time or
distance prevents in-person meetings. With Lync Online, it’s easier to schedule an online meeting and invite additional people
once the meeting has started. Participants now have a “lobby” in which to wait until the meeting organizer arrives, and the
organizer has new ways to ensure a smooth and productive meeting. You’ll be able to collaborate on a file or whiteboard, share
a view of your desktop, deliver a PowerPoint presentation, and much more.
Further, there are two new meeting applications so that your out-of-organization contacts can fully participate in your online
meetings: Lync Web App and Lync Attendee. Use the Online Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Outlook (which was installed with
Lync 2010) to set up a meeting with colleagues in different locations and organizations.
1. In Outlook 2010, click on the Home tab, click on New Items, then click on Online Meeting.
