Chapter 5

Starting a Video Conference

Before you initiate a video conference call, you must ask the person you are calling for their IP address. If they do not know how to find it, you can tell them how—see the following section, “Finding Your IP Address” on page 39.

1Click Start Video to view your own live video.

If your video image does not appear, select Video on the Tools pull-down menu. Then select Detach My Video and repeat step 1. If your video still does not appear, reboot the computer and go back to step 1.

2In the Address bar, enter the IP address of the person you are calling.

3Click Place Call.

The person you are calling must have the MICROSOFT NetMeeting application open and must select Accept when called. This will start the video conference.

4When the video conference is over, right-click the MICROSOFT NetMeeting icon to completely exit from the application. If you do not exit the application, MICROSOFT NetMeeting will run in the background and make the camera unavailable for use by other applications.

If several people are involved in the video conference, only two people at a time may see each other.

For further information on using MICROSOFT NetMeeting or establishing a video conference call, consult the Help menu available from the application or visit MICROSOFT’s website at www.microsoft.com.
