Outlook Express can use Microsoft's NetMeeting software for collaborative Internet conference calls. All the people in the meeting can see what others are typing, as well as some of the program information. They can also hear the other's voices. When you first want to use this feature, you have to configure NetMeeting: 1. Open the Address Book. 2. Choose Tools + Internet Call (or in Outlook, choose Tools + Place a NetMeeting Call). 3. In the Microsoft NetMeeting dialog box, click Next to stick with the default meeting server (the remote computer that keeps track of who is online to join meetings). 4. Enter your own information--such as name and address (you only need to enter the very basics) and click Next. 5. Select a use category for your information on the directory--personal, business, or adults-only (personal is fine for most of us)--and click Next. 6. Specify your modem speed and click Next. 7. In the Audio Tuning Wizard dialog box, click Next to set up your sound hardware. You need earphones (or speakers) and a microphone plugged in. (Note: You have to re-tune this if someone else wants to use your PC for a NetMeeting.) 8. Click finish and NetMeeting launches. |
