Escalating Windows Messenger or Office Communicator IM Multiparty Session to an Audio/Video Conference

When you invite several buddies to a Windows Messenger or Office Communicator IM session, you can add audio and video to the conference after it has started (provided that the other participants have video capabilities). These can be done in one of the following methods:

•Defining an Ad-hoc Entry Queue (see Chapter 2, “Procedure 8— Defining Additional Conferencing Components in the MGC Environment” on page 2-27) and registering this Entry Queue with the LCS so it will appear in the buddy list (see Chapter 1, “Multipoint Conferencing Scenarios” on page 1-3).

•Using Office Communicator native conferencing capabilities; using the new conference icon (no need to add the MGC Entry Queue to the Contacts list).
