You may join a meeting directly from a Microsoft^® Office Live Meeting email invitation. The invitation contains a Join the meeting link that automatically starts the Microsoft Office Live Meeting Client and connects you to the meeting.

Note: Before you join a meeting for the first time, determine if Microsoft Office Live Meeting client is installed on your computer by simply following these steps:

1. Click Start.
2. Click All Programs.
3. Look in the program list for Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007. If this program appears in the list, the Meeting Client is installed. If the program does not appear, use the links listed under First-Time Users in the email invitation to install the Meeting Client, or download the Meeting Client.

If you are unable to install the Microsoft Office Live Meeting Client on your computer, you may still join the meeting if the Use Web Console link appears on the client installation page. The Live Meeting Web-based client connects you to the meeting using your Web browser. Be aware that while you can still attend the meeting, there are some limitations.

To join a meeting, simply follow these steps:

1. In your email inbox, open the meeting invitation. Or, in your calendar, open the meeting item.
2. In the email invitation or the calendar item, click Join Meeting. Microsoft Office Live Meeting will automatically open and connect you to the meeting. If you do not have Meeting Client installed on your computer, the invitation will contain instructions on how to install it. 

If you are unable to connect to the meeting, simply follow these steps:

1. Open the Microsoft Office Live Meeting client by clicking Start.
2. Click All Programs.
3. Click Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007.
4. Click Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007 again.
5. Enter the Meeting ID, Entry Code (if provided), and Location listed in the email invitation or calendar item.
