Microsoft have just released SharedView – a program that looks like it can be used to present your screen to multiple (up to 15) computers. Not sure how it works yet as it doesn’t work with Lotus Notes (see my posts on the Microsoft forums). These forums are brand new – I was the first to post (2) posts for support/product feedback. I’ll be testing this out on the home pc tonight, and it will be interesting to see if gmail is supported as a mail client.
It uses a Live ID for the presenter (but it is not needed for the clients watching the screen) and as yet does not support audio (but neither does webex that I’m aware of). I think it will take some time for users to get used to getting SharedView installed on their computer and running it – it doesn’t seem to be deployed via a web applet/activex component like WebMeeting.
More later after I’ve got it working…..

Curious… how does this fit between NetMeeting and LiveMeeting?
I’m responding to this in a new post as my initial thoughts contained too much information for a comment – see https://www.absoblogginlutely.net/mtblogarchive/005996.php
