Microsoft SharedView
I came across a new live product Microsoft released recently as a beta – SharedView. It is a free online presentation tool, similar to WebEx and Microsoft Office Live Meeting. I found it simpler and easier to use then WebEx. You get all the features you would expect – sharing a slideshow, a document or entire desktop. You can allow other participants to present and even control your desktop if you need to. It integrates with Live Messenger, so you can invite people quickly. You can email invitations as well.
SharedView only allows up to 15 people to participate in a single meeting, so you would need to upgrade to Microsoft Office Live Meeting if your audience is larger.
Technically, SharedView is a beta. However, I found it very stable and polished. The term beta means less and less these days as Microsoft and Google are racing to deliver products that they don’t want to provide support for.
Check it out.
