Top Tips from the Team
Share multiple screens
There's something really creative about multiple users being able to share their screens at the same time. You can quickly switch between users screens and follow the conversation.
Outlook add-in
Add a personal meeting or an instant meeting with single click directly from inside Microsoft Outlook.
Locking a meeting
For added security I like to lock my meetings once all participants have arrived. It's a bit like pulling the blinds down - Ahhhh.
Presenter mode
When sharing my screen I also like to be able to share my camera. It's simple, go ahead and share your screen then click back on the share camera icon.
Dial-in or out
Join a Sametime meeting via any phone. Not just a laptop or PC!
Meetings on any device
Don't find yourself tied to your desk just because you have a meeting, simply download the Sametime app for any device, follow the login instructions and there you have it! Meetings on the go.
