Microsoft NetMeeting Instructions

What is NetMeeting?

NetMeeting is a Microsoft product that enables you to connect to a remote computer via an Internet connection for purposes of conferencing, collaborating or training. Once connected to the remote computer, you “share” any programs running on the remote computer. You see on your computer screen what is on the remote computer’s screen.

E-Z Data has chosen to use NetMeeting as the vehicle for its comprehensive Client Data System training sessions. While NetMeeting is used for the video portion of the training, a separate telephone line is used for the audio portion of the training.

Your computer must meet or exceed the following requirements to install and use NetMeeting:

• 90 megahertz (MHz) Pentium processor

• 24 megabytes (MB) of RAM for Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 (Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 or later is required to enable sharing programs on Windows NT.)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 or later
