PowerPoint provides powerful networking capabilities that help us to easily and efficiently convene web conferencing.
This requires the use of Microsoft NetMeeting. The close combination of this program and Microsoft Office provides a great convenience for us to have an online meeting. Just open the "tools → online collaboration → now meet" command in PowerPoint, enter your first name, first name, email, location, and server name in the window that appears, and NetMeeting will start automatically in the background, if the person you are looking for is online and interested in your proposal, Then the online meeting can start immediately!
At the beginning of an online meeting, although all participants can see the presentation on the screen, only the presenter of the meeting is the only person who controls the presentation. Turn on the collaboration feature to allow participants to modify the presentation, but you can also turn off collaboration at any time. When the collaboration feature is turned off, the other participants cannot continue to make changes, but they can observe the work of the moderator.
When collaboration is turned on, participants in the online meeting can alternately edit and control the presentation. When someone else controls a presentation, the moderator of the meeting will not be able to use the cursor (not just in the presentation, otherwise). The first letter of the name of the participant who controls the presentation appears next to the mouse pointer. If in the course of the meeting, the host suddenly thought of missing a VIP, the process has not entered a critical phase, then you can invite others to join the ongoing online meeting. However, people who are invited to an ad hoc online meeting must have NetMeeting running on their computer, or they will not receive an online meeting invitation.
If we want to make the meeting very successful, we can make a notice of the meeting in advance. When you click tools → online collaboration → schedule A meeting, Outlook starts automatically, pops up a very detailed interface, and we can easily complete the meeting notice by changing a few data to the actual situation.
Many of the features in PowerPoint help us to communicate freely in the Web conferencing. For example, the Web Discussions feature allows users to insert comments into a presentation. The discussion is threaded, that is, the replies to the discussion comments are nested directly beneath the discussion, like the text on the BBS. Can read with the topic, do not have an article to look over. In addition, multiple topic discussions are allowed. By using the discussion toolbar, any user who is reviewing a presentation can view and reply to any discussion. Users can review discussions in PowerPoint and merge changes made to the presentation based on the feedback they receive.
When the user starts the discussion, a discussion pane appears, which includes comments, questions, and topics for discussion. The user can drag the scroll bar in the discussion pane to see the entire topic, and also to see the names and discussions of the individual users who inserted comments into the discussion.
When you review a presentation, you can also insert comments directly on the slides, just as you would for a text section. Open the slide that you want to add the annotation to, and click the Insert → comment command. Any hidden annotations that are added by other users appear in the Yellow comment box. You can also type your own annotation in the box, and then click outside the yellow annotation box. We can move, resize, and reset the text and comment boxes as much as we want, as we do with other objects. In addition, you can route your presentation so that other users can view and add annotations. If you don't want the annotation to appear during the slide show, you can hide the annotation. Annotations do not appear in the outline pane or in master view.
One of the most powerful features of PowerPoint presentation over the Web is "broadcast." You can use broadcasts to broadcast presentations, including video and audio, on the web. Broadcasts are especially useful if the audience is large or the audience is in a remote location. By using Outlook or other e-mail programs, users can schedule broadcasts like other meetings. The presentation is saved in HTML format, so the only thing the audience needs to see the presentation is the browser. If some viewers miss the broadcast or need to archive the broadcast, you can record the broadcast and save it to the Web server so that you can replay it at any time. The following methods are used for broadcast operations:
Open the presentation you want to broadcast. Click slide show → online broadcast → schedule live broadcast, select Create and Schedule a new broadcast, and then fill in the relevant information on the tab. You only have to set the options once, and all future broadcasts will use these settings.
