Your First Meeting Room

When your account is first setup, a meeting room is also setup for you and you will see it when you first log in to your account: "My Meeting Room"

To conduct a meeting with PowerPoint slides, a PowerPoint presentation must first be uploaded to your account. If you wish to upload a a PowerPoint file, click on

However, a PowerPoint presentation is not required and you may conduct a meeting with simply Video, Audio and/or Screen Sharing.

While you can now start an impromptu meeting using the green "Start Meeting" button, you will most likely wish to schedule a meeting for a future date and invite some people to attend, and inviting attendees is our next step.

Invite Attendees

Using InstantPresenter's Invite system will allow you to send out emails to your attendees, complete with date, time, a link to the meeting, and a password if you have one. Additionally, it will include some useful setup information.

Meeting Start Date

Here you will select the date and time of the meeting, along with duration and time zone. Keep in mind that this information will not automatically start the meeting at this time. You will still need to open the meeting when you choose.

Email Options

Enter in the email addresses of your attendees into either the Attendee or Presenter box. Other Presenters will automatically be promoted to Presenter status upon entering the application. Enter a subject for your email message, a body for your email, and any relevant conference calling information.

Sending

After the Invite/Confirmation email is complete, you can choose the "Send Invitation Now" button and your meeting will be scheduled and your invitations will be sent. You also have the option of setting up a registration form and survey form, as well as setting up PayPal options if you wish to monetize your presentation. For more information on how to use these features please see the Schedule Meetings and Send Invites section of our manual.

Start Meeting

To start your meeting click on the green "Start Meeting" button for the meeting you wish to start. You will be notified of any meetings you have scheduled for that day by a notification box: .


When you have concluded your presentation click on the button in order to close the meeting room. Your attendees will then be directed to any exit URL or survey you have setup.

Application Setup

When entering the Meeting Application for a new session you will need to give Flash permission to access your webcam and microphone. This will allow you to broadcast video and audio.

Next you will be prompted to start the session now or later. Select "Yes" to allow your attendees to join your meeting.

Finally a setup wizard will guide you through the rest of the microphone and webcam setup procedure. Simply follow the instructions, making sure to select the proper microphone and webcam device when prompted.

Once you have completed the wizard you will be setup and ready to broadcast your audio and/or video. If you have uploaded slides you can advance them by using the button controls at the bottom right of the Content Presentation Module.

Moderate Attendees

You can view your current Attendees in the Attendee List. If you wish to have other Attendees broadcast their audio and/or video or control the slides, you can make them a Presenter by clicking their name in the Attendee List Module. From the Attendee List you also have the following options available: Disconnect, Clear Status, Allow Sharing, Make Presenter, Remove Presenter, Set As Current Speaker.

You can make the Attendee List private if you wish so that the full list is only displayed to Presenters, simply check the "Make Attendee List Private" box at the bottom of the Attendee List.
