INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to share applications and data in Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005 and in Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2003.



MORE INFORMATION
Live Meeting provides the following features for sharing applications or data between the computer and the meeting audience:
 * Sharing slides
 * Web slides
 * Snapshot slides

Sharing slides
When you use Sharing slides, it is like having the meeting audience watch over your shoulder as you work on the computer. You can share a view of the computer desktop or of a single application. If you use Sharing slides in the Conference Center, you can also share control of an application or of the computer desktop with a meeting attendee.

Note To share control with an attendee, you must purchase and then enable the ability to give control to an attendee as part of your Live Meeting account. Otherwise, the Give Control button is not available when you try to share control with an attendee.

To insert a Sharing slide in a meeting, follow these steps:
 * 1) In the Live Meeting console, click Sharing Slide on the Insert menu.
 * 2) In the Sharing Setup dialog box, click one of the following options, and then click OK:
 * 3) * The sharing frame
 * 4) * The entire desktop
 * 5) * A specific application
 * 6) In the Sharing dialog box, click Start. The attendee will see the option that you chose in step 2.

Web slides
Web slides show live and active Web pages. When you use Web slides, you specify the URL of the Web page to which the attendee's browser will point. The attendee is then free to click the links in the Web page that you specified. When the Web slide is active, the Web page is live. Therefore, the attendee can follow any link exactly as in a regular browser session. You cannot see any actions that the attendee performs in the Web page. Similarly, the attendee cannot see any actions that you perform in the Web Page. If you want to control what the attendee sees and does in the Web page, use a Sharing slide to show the attendee a view of the browser that points to the correct Web page. You can bring the attendee back to the meeting by clicking the next slide in the presentation.

You can create Web slides before the presentation or during the presentation.

To insert a Web slide in a meeting, follow these steps:
 * 1) In the Live Meeting console, click Web Slide on the Insert menu.
 * 2) In the New Web Slide dialog box, type the URL of the Web page that you want the attendee to visit.

Note We recommend that you do not click to select the Bypass safety check check box.
 * 1) Click Verify Web Slide.
 * 2) Click Create Web Slide. The attendee will see the Web page that you provided.

Snapshot slides
Snapshot slides show a screen capture from your computer. You can create a Snapshot slide before the presentation or during the presentation. For example, you may want to capture a static image of a Web page or of a software application.

To insert a Snapshot slide in a meeting, follow these steps:
 * 1) In the Live Meeting Presentation panel, click the slide after which you want to insert the new Snapshot slide.
 * 2) Start the program that you want to capture as a snapshot.
 * 3) On the Insert menu, click Snapshot Slide. The Snapshot frame appears.
 * 4) Locate the section of the program window that you want to capture, and then drag the Snapshot frame to position it on that section. To change the size of the Snapshot frame, drag the corners of the frame.
 * 5) Click Snap. The slide is inserted into the set of slides. Additionally, the Snapshot slide appears in the presenter console. The first Snapshot slide that you create is named Snapshot A. The second Snapshot slide that you create is named Snapshot B, and so on. You can rename the Snapshot slides.
 * 6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 to create more Snapshot slides.
 * 7) When you finish, click Close in the Snapshot frame.

Note The Snapshot slide that you create has the same pixel resolution as that of your computer screen display. The file size for this kind of Snapshot slide may be much larger than a typical uploaded slide. Therefore, the Snapshot slide may slowly load during the meeting, especially for attendees who have a slower Internet connection.
