The
eBeam software is designed to let you host or join meetings
over the Internet or intranet, without the use of
a third-party application such as NetMeeting. However,
if you would like to, you can also use your eBeam-enabled
whiteboard as the input device into the NetMeeting "virtual"
whiteboard.

eBeam
Meetings
Using the eBeam data
conferencing capabilities, you can connect up to 20 participants
over the Internet or 10 participants over your intranet.
Simply by hosting a
meeting and using the eBeam application, you can share meeting
notes and brainstorming ideas with everyone as you create
them. What is written or drawn will
be seen by all of the data conferencing participants, whether
they join using a standard Web browser or their own eBeam
application.
And,
if you don't have a server to host meetings,
you can
share your Ideas across the Internet using the eBeam
Meeting Server!
This
is a service provided by Luidia free of charge, for
our
eBeam customers.

Setting
up a Meeting
- The host shares a Meeting by setting a name and, optionally, a password.
- Participants
are notified of the Meeting name, time and password through an e-mail invitation.
- Participants
join the Meeting, either through a browser, or through the eBeam
software on PC or Mac.
- When
the Meeting begins, the host begins writing on the eBeam-enabled
whiteboard. If the host chooses to allow it, participants can also add annotations.
That's
all there is to it!
