Invite Users to a Meeting

Once a meeting is created, the host may invite others to join the meeting. To invite a registered user to join a meeting by User ID, perform the following steps:

With the correct meeting name and password, any user can join any meeting. To join an existing meeting, follow these steps:

Leaving a Meeting
When you are in a meeting, you can exit the meeting anytime by clicking the "Leave" button from the main window. However, if you are the host of the meeting, exiting the meeting will end this meeting and everyone will be forced to leave.

As mentioned earlier, some user types have more privileges than others. For example, an audience cannot send video or audio while a speaker can send both audio and video, but has no control over the whiteboard or application sharing. The presenter has control over whiteboard and application sharing. To request for status change, please follow the steps below:

1.	A user may request status change by clicking the status change icon above their status in the meeting panel. If an attendee wants to have his/her status changed to a user type with less privilege (e.g., from speaker to audience or from presenter to speaker), this occurs automatically. Otherwise, the following steps will continue be carried out.
2.	A window will appear in the host's application indicating that the user has requested status change.
3.	The host may accept or decline the request by clicking on "Accept" or "Decline."
4.	Once the request is accepted, the new status of the attendee will be displayed.

Figure 24: Whiteboard

To bring up the whiteboard, the Presenter or Host can click on the whiteboard button . If the whiteboard has not been opened by either the Host or Presenter, no other attendee can open the whiteboard window.

Page Navigation

The paging section allows a user (Presenter or Host) to switch pages or create a new page. The page drop-down menu is used to choose between pages already created. The navigation buttons beside the drop-down can bring up pages adjacent to the current one. When the current page is the last one, clicking "Next" button will create a new blank page, i.e., it has the same effect as clicking "New" in the page tag drop-down.

Open a Presentation, PowerPoint or Image File

The whiteboard can be used for a presentations, i.e., the Presenter or the Host can load a PowerPoint presentation, an image file or a whiteboard file onto the whiteboard and every attendee in the meeting will see it. This can be done using the File Tools.

File Tools

The top 3 buttons on the left bar are used for creating a new whiteboard, loading files and saving whiteboard contents.

Draw on Whiteboard

In addition to loading a presentation, the whiteboard can be used for drawing. The drawing tools, edit tools, thickness tool and color palette allow the Presenter or the Host to draw a variety of objects onto the whiteboard.

Edit Tools

Edit tools work along with the "Select" tool, which is used to select an object on the whiteboard. Users can cut, copy, paste or delete the selected object. This works similarly to a text editor.

Drawing Tools

These tools are used to draw or add text onto the whiteboard.

Line Thickness Tool

There are four thickness choices for the drawing tools as well as the highlighter.

Color Palette

The color palette is used to change the color being used by the drawing tools.

Highlighter Tool

The highlighter tool is a free-hand drawing tool with semi-transparent traces when the mouse button is pressed down and dragged. When the mouse is released the highlighter trace disappears.

Save Whiteboard Contents

Only the Presenter and the Host can save whiteboard contents. Whiteboard contents can be saved as PowerPoint format, JPEG image and whiteboard format. These formats can then be loaded again using the whiteboard in MyNet Universe. The contents in every page of the whiteboard will be saved into the file. When saving in PowerPoint format, changes made on the whiteboard will be preserved and completely editable when reopened in PowerPoint.

To bring up application sharing, the Presenter or Host has to click on the application sharing button . If the Presenter or Host does not open application sharing, no other attendee can open application sharing window.

Below is the application sharing control panel. This panel is only available for the Presenter or Host and only one application at a time can be shared in a meeting by either the Presenter or Host. When an application is selected for sharing, it will be brought into foreground. The Presenter or Hosr may also select to share his/her desktop. If you want to share an application that you opened after opening application sharing, please click "Refresh" to refresh the list of available applications to be shared.

Conference Line

If someone does not have internet access, but you would like for them to be able to participate in the audio portion of your meeting, the conference line can be used. The Conference Line allows you to use a standard conference call bridge and a telephone for the audio portion of your meeting instead of using MyNet Universe's integrated VOIP with your headset or microphone and speakers. Clicking the conference button will bring up a set of instructions showing what number to call and how to connect to your meeting from a telephone.

Note: The conference line feature does not merge MyNet Universe's integrated VOIP audio with the conference bridge's audio. For everyone in the meeting to hear each other they must all use integrated VOIP or all dial into the conference line.

If you lose the meeting text, videos, whiteboard, application sharing or web sharing panel, you can bring them back using the respective buttons in the meeting tools.

Bringing up a Video Panel

To bring up a lost video panel of a attendee, please follow the following steps:
