Creating a Scheduled Meeting
You can schedule a meeting to start immediately, or some time in the future. If available, scheduled meetings can also take advantage of participants' computer audio and video or telephone services for communicating during the meeting. With scheduled meetings, you also have the options of repeating the meeting (so that it meets at the same day and time over a period of time) or recording the meeting to play back in the future.
To create a scheduled meeting, click "Schedule a Meeting" on the IBM(R) Lotus(R) Sametime(R) Welcome page. On the tabbed dialog box that appears, only information on the Essential tab is required. See the topics below for more information.
- "Essentials: Providing basic meeting information"
- People: Inviting Meeting Participants
- Slides: Adding Sides To display
- Options: Setting Meeting Options
Note While you are not required to log in to IBM(R) Lotus(R) Sametime(R) before you schedule a meeting, you may still want to do so. Once logged on, more functionality will be available to you. Click "Log in to IBM Lotus Sametime" in the upper right corner of the Meeting Center. When the dialog box or page appears, enter your user name and password and click Log in.
