Live Meeting instructions

Important Note: You will need access to the Live Meeting email invitation your instructor sends you to get started on the day of your training session.

What to do at least 3 days before your training session:

Watch for an invitation from your trainer to join a Live Meeting in your email inbox.

Read the instructions in the message carefully. If you choose, you can install the Windows-bassed Console a few days before your session. The other option is to use the Web-based console (no downloading or installation required). Both versions are fine for this session.

Call your instructor if you have any concerns about the Live Meeting or other session software.

What to do on the day of your training session:

15 - 30 minutes before your session:
Use the 'Click here to Join Live Meeting' link in the email invitation.

It will take a minute or two for you to be connected. If you choose to use the Web-based console, cancel the option to download the Windows console and wait for the option to use the Web console.

5-10 minutes before your session:
dial the number specified in your invitation to join the teleconference. Use the access code supplied.
