FAQs

Migrating from Live Meeting 2005 to 2007

01. My user login and password don’t work

  • Check that the Live Meeting URL is exactly the same as the one in your upgrade email.
  • Check that your user login and password are exactly the same as the one in your upgrade email.
  • Try retyping your password exactly as it appears in your email. Passwords are case sensitive.

02. I don’t have administrator rights to download the add-in / console

If you get an error message that says you are not allowed to download or install the Outlook or Lotus Notes add-in, contact your desktop support team to perform the installation.

Once installed, you can learn how to use the Outlook add-in by taking the self-paced training, available at: www.btconferencing.com/training/?cn=livemeeting

NOTE: You can still schedule meetings directly in Live Meeting without the Outlook or Lotus Notes add-in.

  • Go to the Live Meeting URL in your email
  • Enter your user login and password
  • In the left hand column, click Schedule Meeting and fill in the necessary information.

03. What do I put in the “Sign-in Name” field in the Outlook add-in?

Leave the field “Sign-in Name” blank. This information is only needed if your company uses the Instant Messaging tools of Office Communication Server. You would only need to fill it in if you want to integrate Live Meeting and Office Communicator Server. It will not work if your Live Meeting server is hosted outside your company.

You only need to enter information in the Live Meeting Service section, including your Live Meeting URL, user name and password.
