Managing Meeting Participants

In the Live Meeting client, you can manage meeting participants in the following ways:

  • View a list of participants that identifies each participant's name, mood, and whether the participant is a presenter or an attendee.
  • Arrange the list of participants in various ways.
  • Search for an individual participant.
  • Invite additional people to a meeting.
  • Remove participants from a meeting.
  • Designate an attendee as a presenter.

You perform these tasks by using the Attendees pane of the Live Meeting client.

ShowTo find a participant

  • In the Attendees pane, click Find, and then type the first few letters or the name of the participant that you want to find.
