In Office Communicator 2007 R2, there is a new Meet Nowoption that lets you quickly start a new conference and invite people who are either inside or outside of your organization. In previous versions of Communicator, you could invite people to your Communicator conferences only if they were members of your organization or a federated organization. With the Meet Nowoption, you can start a new conference, and then use one of the following two options to invite people:
- You can use the
Invite a Contactoption to invite contacts from within your
organization and federated organizations.
- You can use the
Invite by E-mailoption to send out an e-mail invitation,
which creates an Outlook e-mail message that contains links to the
conference. The recipient can join the conference by using
Communicator, a Web browser, or a public switched telephone network
(PSTN) phone (that is, by using the conference information in the
invitation e-mail).
