The organization selected a company called Expos2 to host the service. Well, when we decided to pull the trigger and move forward, Expos2 informed us that they are closing down and are not accepting new clients.<br />
<br />
Can you imagine deciding on a hotel to host a physical conference and have the hotel call you before your event and tell you that they are closing its doors? <br />
<br />
This prompted me to do a little more research on the space (I normally cover webinar technologies). After investigating it looks like there are two dominant platforms that have been around for a long time with a large client base; ON24 and Communique Conferencing. Aside from these two there are several very small (less than 10 employees) start-ups similar to Expos2. <br />
<br />
I wonder if the other small players will make it. This reminds me of the early days when Webinars just started out.<br />

Google has been trying to remove these sites from their search results for years.<br />
<br />
This is done under the guise of being an independent reputable review website only to direct viewers to the product manufactuers website to earn commissions.<br />
<br />
Here is the proof. If you hover your mouse over the button on the right to go to the Citrix GoToMeeting Vendor Website you'll see the URL code at the bottom left. Which starts with <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/">http://www.dpbolvw.net</a>. You'll notice that this link goes to commission junction. This is how GoToMeeting knows to pay this fake review website commission for referring the prospective customer (along with a good review).<br />

If a review site is really legitimate and unbiased there will be no affiliate code when clicking a link to the products website. Caveat emptor to buyers. Only use reputable sites like PC Magazine for product reviews and references. I do reviews on this website, but you'll never see links to any of the vendors websites or commission junction.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;">
Here are a few of the major feature differences Adobe Connect Pro and WebEx:</div>
<ol start="1" type="1">
</ol>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Ease of joining meetings: Adobe Connect is much more user
friendly for attendees to join meetings because there is no download required for attendees. That means just about anyone can instantly access meetings
without the hassle of software downloads—even your audience members
operating in a software lock down environment. No hassle implementation in
regards to your companies firewall security issues. WebEx requires a download for
participants (Meeting Manager). </li>
</ul>
<ol start="1" type="1">

</ol>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Adobe Connect allows for
multiple hosts and presenters during a meeting (at the same time), which allows a more
effortless flow of interaction among presenters. WebEx allows only one presenter at a time. The host can “pass the baton” to another presenter.</li>
</ul>
<ol start="1" type="1">

</ol>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Recordings: Both products include the ability to record meetings. WebEx records to a proprietary .arf file format and requires the attendee to download a webex viewer” to watch a recording of a meeting. Adobe Connect records to a
universal Flash file format. The Adobe Connect recording quality was so much better. Finally, Adobe Connect recordings can be edited and you can even hide components from the live meeting like the attendee list or chat so that it does not appear in the recording.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">WebEx’s interface is similar to
many older web conferencing solutions, but we prefer the Adobe Connect’s
cleaner interface as it provides a much more impressive, rich, multimedia
experience. You can create as many individual Meetings Rooms as you like,
and each Meeting Room interface can easily be customized for the needs of
that meeting.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Video content played in the
Adobe Connect environment is superior to any web conferencing solution
that we have seen.</li>
</ul>

</ol>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Mobile support: WebEx "Meeting Center" works on mobile devices, but Event Center and Training Center versions do not at this time. Adobe Connect works on all mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Andriod, BlackBerry, etc.).</li>
</ul>
<ol start="1" type="1">

</ol>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Webinar Registration Functionality: Both products have the ability to create custom branded attendee registration landing pages with email reminders. WebEx does have an advantage for anyone that requires e-commerce (payment processing).</li>
</ul>
<ol start="1" type="1">

</ol>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Breakout rooms - This feature is included in the base price of Adobe Connect. If you want breakout rooms with WebEx you have to buy Training Center which is very expensive.</li>
</ul>
<ol start="1" type="1">
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;">
Our Conclusion:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Both WebEx and Adobe Connect offer a
full set of world-class user features for a productive, meeting environment. In most cases, however, we favor Adobe Connect because it offers:
superior user friendliness, superior video, and greater multimedia flexibility.

No way!There is no such thing as an instant Webinar.<br />
<br />
In the age of instant gratification and technology, I have run across many a webinar producer that has made the mistake of assuming their webinar technology platform will read their mind, set itself up according to their requirements, and instantly produce a flawless event to a virtual audience of hundreds or thousands.
This is a dangerous assumption.<br />
<br />
A mission critical event to a large audience should never be left to the last minute. For example, a producer of a live in-person event will visit the physical event venue for a site inspection in advance of the event and then show up early for the event to make sure everything is correctly set up according to specifications before the event begins.<br />
<br />
The same is true with a virtual event.<br />
<br />
At a minimum a virtual event producer should spend time in the virtual room setting it up ahead of time, hold a rehearsal with all speakers, moderators and hosts, and, finally, build in a 30 minute pre-conference for speakers and hosts immediately prior to the event.<br />
<br />
Take some time to avoid virtual event disasters.<br />
<br />
8 Reasons to Prepare, ‘Site Inspect’ and Rehearse your Virtual Event<br />
<br />
- Test audio integration: There are many audio options for your webinar, including universal audio integration. You can simulcast both the phone audio conference and VoIP, use the phone only, or use VoIP only. The universal integration needs to be done well in advance of the event. For audio options and integration how-to tips, please see.<br />
<br />
- Check the speaker’s audio quality: There are many things that can reduce audio quality. Be sure to have all speakers use the exact same equipment during the rehearsal as they will use during the live event – this includes the computer and the actual phone or headset. Wireless is not recommended for either computer or phone and, of course, using a speakerphone is a big no-no.<br />
<br />
- Ensure speaker understands how to use the platform: If your speaker is new to the particular webinar platform technology you are using, take the time to give him a tutorial, even if he is experienced at webinars in general. Just like it’s always awkward to drive someone else’s car, it can be equally awkward finding all the right buttons to push in a webinar room that is unfamiliar.<br />
<br />
- Upload and flip through all slides: Uploading slides 15 minutes prior to your event is risky to say the least (especially if it’s a big file that may take some time to upload). Take the time to upload them during the rehearsal and flip through all of them to check for any misaligned text or images. Make any necessary changes to the deck and re-upload them before the pre-conference and re-check.<br />
<br />
- Confirm all parties know how to get to your event: The rehearsal will give all your speakers, hosts and moderators a chance to ‘find’ the location – locating their login info, practice logging in, download the presenter add-in, and overcome any other technical issues related to browsers, etc. The last thing you need on the day-of is a missing speaker!
- Review the flow of the event and room set up: Prepare any polls, chats, quizzes or multiple slide decks you’ll be using ahead of time using the layout functionally and arrange the layouts in order of your agenda. This will ensure a smooth flow and avoid having to ‘fish’ for polls during the live event.<br />
<br />
- Prep your backstage and familiarize all hosts, speakers and moderators with it: Your Presenter Only Area is your private backstage area for hosts and presenters. This is a great place for the Attendee pod, a Presenter chat (so you can coordinate amongst yourselves without interrupting the event flow), the Presenter view of the Q&A pod and any notes or reminders you might have for your speakers or moderators. Remind your speakers to keep an eye on the backstage in case you need to communicate with them while they are presenting.<br />
<br />
- Have an emergency plan and communicate it to all hosts, speakers and moderators: Virtual events are subject to things going wrong just like physical events. Think through what you will do if… your audio conferencing provider experiences an outage… if your speaker’s computer crashes… if your speaker accidentally hangs up on herself… if you lose your internet connection… etc, etc. And, yes, with 7 years of experience running upwards of 30 webinars a quarter, I have run into all of these and more!<br />
<br />
So, don’t leave the details of producing your mission critical virtual event to the last 15 minutes, because treating webinars casually will get you into big trouble.<br />
<br />
Good luck and may your next webinar run flawlessly!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/webinar" rel="tag">webinar</a></div>Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08809361275476181590noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513377.post-55554821617610354572013-01-14T09:00:00.000-08:002013-03-28T07:30:46.747-07:00WebEx Mobile SecretA lot of viewers learned the hard way that although WebEx touts Mobile support it only works for "Meeting Center". Customers who purchase Event Center or Training Center are surprised to learn that there is no mobile device support. I personally think that WebEx should be more upfront about this limitation and stop misleading their customers.
<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/webinar" rel="tag">webinar</a></div>Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08809361275476181590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513377.post-87015620289323907922012-10-10T12:14:00.001-07:002013-03-28T07:31:21.529-07:00Microsoft Live Meeting Discontinued<h3 class="entry-header">
</h3>
A few readers have been asking me if Microsoft Live Meeting is being
officially sunsetted. I had to admit that I didn’t have any official
information on the subject, so I thought I would try to find out from somebody at Microsoft. After a lot of calls and emails, I received the following reply, which I reprint here in its
entirety:<br />
<blockquote>
<i>Live
Meeting is being discontinued and replaced by Microsoft Lync – the new business
communications technology solution from Microsoft. Customers who have a
Live Meeting Volume Licensing contract (either from Microsoft or via a
partner) can stay on Live Meeting through the remainder of their
contract. Transition for BPOS-S customers will be based on the
transition from BPOS to Office 365, with some planned overlap of Live
Meeting and Lync Online to allow for a smoother end user experience.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
So
there it is… As much information as Microsoft is willing to share. Here’s my
take on the statement and additional things I can glean from their
various web resources.<br />
<br />
It’s obvious that Live Meeting is going away. Finish up your
existing contract period and decide whether you want to use Lync for
your web meetings or another technology. I did a full comparison of <a href="http://webinar.blogspot.com/2011/07/live-meeting-vs-lync-online-comparison.html" target="_blank">Lync vs. Live Meeting</a> last year. If you just need basic web conferencing with small groups of internal staff members Lync is a good fit at a good price. If you need anything beyond the basics, you'll need to find another solution. For example, if you are hosting webinars with attendee registration forget it. Lync does not have any features to support this. If your are meeting with external clients or partners Lync is difficult to use. The download for someone to join a Lync meeting is 50.5Mb. That is huge.<br />
<br />
We polled readers for feedback and most switched to <a href="http://www.mywebconferencing.com/" target="_blank">Adobe Connect</a> for web meetings and webinars. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/webinar" rel="tag">webinar</a></div>Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08809361275476181590noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513377.post-11304050497738949852012-06-18T08:29:00.002-07:002012-12-05T06:37:01.399-08:00Adobe Connect 9<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="10"><tbody>
<tr><td>Adobe Systems Incorporated recently
announced Adobe(R) Connect(TM) 9, the latest version of the company's Web
conferencing software. Adobe
Connect 9 delivers an all-in-one solution for producing webinars, as well as
innovations in mobile-to-mobile collaboration and mobile learning.<br />
<br />
Adobe added significant functionality around registration, attendee communications, customer-level and event-level branding, lead tracking, reporting, and analytics. Webinar marketers should get very excited for the new capabilities.</td></tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr><td>New features include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Greatly enhanced Event Registration Pages and Catalogs - Templates enable quick creation
of landing pages, speaker information, registration pages and login pages.
Templates can be customized using rich components, including images, tables,
charts and carousels.</li>
<li> <b style="font-weight: normal;">Rich customization of emails</b> - Everything I said in the last paragraph applies to attendee emails as well. You have full drag and drop customization of HTML emails for things such as registration confirmation, reminders, and follow up messages.</li>
<li>Lead Tracking Analytics - Adobe has integrated full lead tracking all the way through the engagement process. You can set up parameters on the URL that brings people to your landing page or registration page. From then on, Connect tracks them all the way through the system. You can get reports showing the “funnel numbers” for each tracked campaign or lead source. How many people visited the landing page. Of those, how many clicked through to register. How many of them completed registration? How many then attended? How long were they in session? How much did they interact with the software during the session? And if your company uses <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/sitecatalyst.html" target="_blank">Adobe’s SiteCatalyst</a>, you can dump all the information into that marketing analysis tool to be cut, aggregated and reported as desired. You can even set up lead qualification criteria based on a combination of an attendee’s registration field demographic answers and their real-time behaviors during the webinar. So a sales rep could give higher priority to an attendee who asked a lot of questions than to someone who just passively watched the presentation. <br /> promotions and programs as
a whole.</li>
<li><b style="font-weight: normal;">Graphical reporting</b> - Post-webinar reports get some very fancy online eye-candy. Lead funnels, minute-by-minute attendance and engagement, poll results, and more can all be seen online with nice graphic depictions. Some even allow interaction to focus in on details. This feature needs some extension in a future release to allow saving or downloading the information in graphical format. For the moment, downloaded reports are numerical only.Engagement dashboard to monitor participant engagement in real time (are
they participating in the Webinar, chats, surveys, etc.) </li>
<li>Campaign tracking& Qualified lead scoring </li>
<li>Increased event capacity of up to 1,500 participants </li>
<li>Recording Enhancements: Privacy and content controls in recordings,Pause and resume recordings during live sessions, and Customizable recording indexes </li>
<li>Survey/Polling Enhancements: Adobe Connect now have the ability to run a real-time interactive poll that allows type-in answers. You can display the responses to the audience, acting as a great brainstorming whiteboard.</li>
<li>Advanced Mobile Support for
Meetings and Training -- You will be able to present from or attend from just about any mobile device -- whether iOS (such as an iPad), Android, or BlackBerry PlayBook. They added some touch-screen enhancements to allow “finger painting” whiteboard annotations and selection of meeting content. The one restriction I noted is that you can’t select document files living on an iOS device’s local memory. So presenting slides, PDFs, or anything other than a simple photograph from an iPad requires a pre-meeting step of uploading the content to your Adobe account on the server. Android devices do not have this limitation.</li>
<li>eLearning improvement: Adobe Connect will now support HTML5 and SCORM 1.2 content. They are adding a more comprehensive course registration module, while Presenter and Captivate will get upgrades as part of Adobe’s ELS (eLearning Suite).SCORM compatibility and reporting improvements for eLearning</li>
</ul>
Adobe greatly improved on it's web conferencing product that was already voted Editor's Choice by PC Magazine last year.</td><td><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></td></tr>

There have been a number of new features added to Adobe Connect recordings to help make them even better. In this sneak peek video learn how you can now edit and customize the index (which is now much more discoverable) as well as anonymize your recording by hiding names or pods.<br />

A major focus of Adobe Connect 9 has been helping customers create even better virtual events. Adobe Connect 9 brings major updates to the Events module including a brand new event catalog and registration system as well as new reports and analytics.<br />

Finally, we also wanted to give webinar hosts and presenters a way to measure engagement during their events. In Adobe Connect 9, we're introducing the Engagment Meter - providing real time feedback on the level of engagement during an event.<br />

Cisco WebEx is a software company so audio conference calling is clearly not their core business. We did some research with our user community and came up with a two solutions to the problem.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Keep using WebEx for the web conference service but use a audio conference call provider that has integration with WebEx for audio conference calling instead of WebEx. A few viewers wrote in that they are happy with <a href="http://www.communiqueconferencing.com/webex-audio-conferencing.asp" target="_blank">Communique Conferencing</a> </li>
<li>Switch to another web conference technology that is more reliable such as <a href="http://webinar.blogspot.com/2011/10/adobe-connect-reviews-double-winner-at.html" target="_blank">Adobe Connect</a>. Adobe Connect does not do a lot of marketing but it just won Editor's Choice for 'Best Web Conferencing Service" by PC Magazine.</li>

<a href="http://wsuccess.typepad.com/webinarblog/2012/03/readytalk-links-webinars-to-press-releases.html"></a></h3>
ReadyTalk
just announced a new feature that lets webinar organizers create and
distribute a press release as an integrated step during the scheduling
and setup of the event. <br />
<br />
I am not aware of any other web
conferencing service with a similar capability.ReadyTalk has made the connection between scheduling a webinar and
promoting it easy and template-driven. They automatically put you into
the press release software (<a href="https://ireach.prnewswire.com/Home.aspx" target="_blank">iReach from PR Newswire</a>)
with default text and the registration link for your event already
embedded in the template. All you have to do is edit the text to better
suit your preferences and select a distribution/payment option.<br />

The results this year are not much different than in past years. Dave’s top-five audience annoyances once again generally fall under the banner of presenters effectively writing white papers on PowerPoint slides. Presenters write out their speech in full sentences on the slides and are left with nothing to do but read those sentences out loud to their audience. Sometimes they cram in data-filled charts, tables, or graphs to support their statements with a mass of evidence.<br />
<br />
Creating and delivering presentations in this way makes a tremendous amount of practical sense. It’s quick… You don’t have to waste time thinking about design issues or finding graphics. It complies with corporate guidelines… You just fill in the bullet points on your company’s “Title and Content” slide layout. It doesn’t require much, if any, practice… Your script is right there in front of you to be read. And it works great as a handout, allowing offline audiences to read through the information for themselves later.<br />
<br />
If you are going ask your audience to commit their valuable time to listen to you, create a presentation. Not a white paper that happens to be written on sequential slides.<br />

<br />
In a press release, Adelphi Kennedy, Director of Corporate Communications, said, "We’ve been offering company level branding for audio conference calls for several years now. We’re excited to add personalized greetings as another way for our clients to further customize audio conference calls and add an element of professionalism.”<br />
<br />
Now participants will be greeted with a recorded message that informs them of the conference details and other announcements relevant to conferencing. No sophisticated equipment is required for recording, the standard telephone handset is sufficient.<br />
<br />
One thing that is very important about the new feature is its flexibility. Greetings can be changed as often as required and there is no stipulation regarding the length of the personalized greeting.<br />
<br />
The new features can be added for $25/month.<br />
<br />

<br />
Cisco officials on Aug. 17 announced a new package that offers meetings for up to eight people for $19 a month. Until now, the standard package offered up to 25 people in a meeting for $59 a month<br />
<br />
The new WebEx 8 offering includes all the features found in other WebEx offerings, including desktop sharing, high-quality video, recording capabilities, integrated Outlook scheduling and compatibility with WebEx Mobile, enabling both hosts and attendees to use the free mobile apps to participate in a meeting.<br />
<br />
For many businesses and individuals—including freelancers and mobile workers—the primary alternative to WebEx was Skype. Skype’s free service was primarily directed at consumers, though in recent years the company had been making moves to add more commercial features. Still, Skype doesn’t offer the scope of corporate capabilities that WebEx does.<br />
<br />
Skype currently is in the process of being bought by Microsoft for $8.5 billion. That deal has yet to close.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/webinar" rel="tag">webinar</a></div>Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08809361275476181590noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513377.post-81151352784036116132011-08-19T04:28:00.000-07:002011-08-19T04:29:22.538-07:00Communique Conferencing Announces Audio Conferencing Integration With Microsoft® Lync OnlineCommuniqué Conferencing, Inc., the world leader in audio, web and video conferencing services, today announced the availability of integrated <a href="http://www.communiqueconferencing.com/microsoft-lync-audio-conferencing.asp" target="_blank">audio conferencing with Microsoft Lync Online</a>, a part of Microsoft Office 365.

The service will allow up to 6 users to experience high definition group video conferencing over the internet simply via a webcam.<br />
<br />
Brett Caine, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Citrix Online Services Division says “GoToMeeting with HDFaces changes the definition of face-to-face meetings from ‘a place you go’ to ‘a thing you do […] That is the essence of our integrated collaboration vision and the promise of our unique HD experience. Once again, we are changing the rules in the market, and customers everywhere will win as a result.”<br />
<br />
Citrix list a number of new features that have been introduced to the product, including:<br />
<ul><li style="margin-left: 18pt;"> Real-time collaboration with web, video and audio conferencing is enabled in just two simple clicks.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 18pt;"> All existing GoToMeeting customers and trial users can now use HDFaces at no additional cost. Existing customers can simply login to their accounts and click a link to upgrade to HDFaces.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 18pt;"> Uers just need a PC or Mac computer, webcam, Internet access and GoToMeeting. It is designed for the way everyday businesses operate – enabling impromptu real-time collaboration with its “Meet Now” feature from anywhere, without the need of expensive and complex room-based solutions.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 18pt;"> Multistream HD™ technology: The highest resolution video conferencing quality available on the market among web conferencing providers: up to six streams at a resolution of 640p x 480p each, for a total maximum resolution of 1920p x 960p.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 18pt;"> The video conferencing streams are integrated into the content screen so attendees can collaborate on shared content and see each other at the same time without the need to switch between the two. The high-definition video experience combined with user adjustable zooming and resizing makes the experience easy to use and very compelling for quick conversations and all day meetings. Now as individuals present ideas or solicit feedback from their team they can interact as if they were actually sitting across the table.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 18pt;"> Video optimization: Adjusts automatically to fit the hardware and network each participant is using when video, audio or screen sharing are in use.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 18pt;"> Resizable viewer and layouts: Easily adapts to numerous monitor and projection configurations.</li>
</ul>HDFaces is included at no additional charge in all GoToMeeting subscriptions. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/webinar" rel="tag">webinar</a></div>Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08809361275476181590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513377.post-13687977726278773682011-07-13T07:16:00.000-07:002011-11-03T04:46:32.383-07:00Live Meeting vs. Lync Online ComparisonMicrosoft launched Office 365 last month which brings together cloud versions (which means hosted in Microsoft data centers and accessed through a browser) of it's communications and collaboration products into one offering. Office 365 includes:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Microsoft Office Hosted Online: Excel, Word, and Power Point delivered via the Web and accessed from a PC, Phone and Browser.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Exchange Email Online: Exchanged e-mail server hosted by Microsoft with always-up-to-date protection from viruses and spam.</li>
</ul><ul><li>SharePoint Online: Microsoft's intranet tool now hosted online for creating sites to connect colleagues, partners and customers.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Lync Online (formerly <b>Microsoft Office Communicator</b>): Cloud-based instant messaging, presence, and online meeting experiences with PC-audio, video conferencing and desktop sharing.</li>
</ul>A lot of Microsoft Live Meeting customers have been asking what the difference is between Lync Online vs. Live Meeting. We had a team of six business users test both products for the past two months. The end conclusion is that, for Web conferencing needs (share presentations, documents, web browser or entire desktop), Lync Online is not even close to Live Meeting in terms of functionality and ease of use. The following includes a summary of our findings:<br />
<ul><li>Live Meeting: Probably one of the best web conferencing services on the market. Live Meeting is ideal for both smaller collaborative meetings as well as hosting larger Webinars. Scheduling meetings is easy through the live meeting website or integration with Outlook and Lotus Notes. For Webinars Live Meeting includes handy features such as attendee registration, reminder emails, polling, recording, Q&A online and capacity for up to 1,250 attendees per meeting.</li>
<li>Lync Online: Lync is the new name for <b>Microsoft Office Communicator</b>. Lync Online is more geared towards instant messenger and presence (knowing who is at their desk) than web conferencing. Lync installs a rather large instant messenger (IM) client (MACs not supported). This seems to be ideal for a business that wants to connect to employees, clients and partners via instant messenger and webcams. Within the IM client you can do very basic web conferencing such as sharing a power point presentation or desktop. Lync does not include any features required for conducting webinars such as attendee registration. Also Lync Online is limited to 250 attendees per meeting. One final, and very important, note to make is that Lync online does not include any live phone support. Everyone that tested Lync required assistance to set up and use. The only support available is posting your problem or "how to" question to an <a href="http://community.office365.com/en-us/default.aspx" target="_blank">Office 365 community blog</a> for someone to post a response. This was extremely frustrating as a Lync user. It took three weeks of back and fourth posts to get my Lync working. Further, what about external attendees that you invite to join a Lync Online meeting? There is no one for them to call if they have problems or questions joining. </li>

Here is the link to the Lync Online community support site regarding the ability to record a meeting <a href="http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/164/t/3881.aspx" target="_blank">http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/164/t/3881.aspx</a>.<br />
<br />
In summary Microsoft Lync Online is more instant messenger and one-to-one webcam video than web conferencing.<br />

One of challenges is attracting attendees. One way to help with registration acquisition is to produce a short Webinar promotional trailer. This is a short 2 to 3 minute video presentation that basically communicates four specific messages and a "call-to-action" slide. <br />
<br />
Just like any good meal that you prepare for others, you need the basic ingredients for viewers to consume the message and action in your webinar trailer.<br />
<br />
- What is the webinar about? <br />
<br />
- When is it?<br />
<br />
- Who should attend? <br />
<br />
- Why should I participate?<br />
<br />

General availability is slated for end of July.<br />
<br />
Representing a market first by combining high-definition video, web and audio for a simply integrated and natural, real-time collaboration experience, the company believes HDFaces will fundamentally change the way people communicate in the workplace – by effectively bringing telepresence to everyone.<br />
<br />
GoToMeeting with HDFaces provides the highest resolution video conferencing quality available on the market: up to six streams are provided at a resolution of 640p x 480p each, for a total maximum resolution of 1920p x 960p. A superior and simple user experience is delivered at any bandwidth and video optimization automatically adjusts to fit the standard hardware and network each participant is using when video, audio or screen sharing are in use. No specific or proprietary hardware configuration is needed; users just need a PC or Mac computer, webcam and HDFaces for a telepresence-quality experience.<br />
<br />
Production availability is targeted for late July. As previously announced, there is no additional cost for webcam video. It will be a standard feature of GoToMeeting/GoToWebinar.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/webinar" rel="tag">webinar</a></div>Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08809361275476181590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513377.post-37506625698635751882011-05-23T04:37:00.000-07:002011-05-23T04:37:55.958-07:00Banckle Online Meeting Widget for FacebookBanckle Online Meeting is a web-based solution for web conferencing, webinars and video conferencing.
