Creating a Collaboration Meeting

 

You can create a meeting to interactively share ideas with your other people. There are five different types of meetings:
  • Chat
  • Screen Sharing
  • Whiteboard
  • Audio
  • Video
Chat, Screen sharing, Whiteboard, Audio and Video meetings are all managed via the standard Sametime interface.

For detailed user information, see the Sametime documentation.
