Different meeting roles (attendee versus presenter) will be discussed; we will learn how to use a virtual waiting room known as a 'lobby' for control over who attends a meeting; explore settings for audio participation only (for those attendees who do not have Lync installed); how to set up meeting tools (whiteboards, desktop, document, and application sharing); and how to create a recording of the meeting. Attendees will also learn how to join a scheduled meeting as an invited participant. This course is offered at no cost to faculty, staff and graduate students.
