Frequently Asked Questions
  • How many participants can join my Live Meeting meeting?
    Live Meeting supports up to 1250 participants per session.

  • What additional user guides and resources are available for Live Meeting?
    Complete step-by-step user guides, training information and sign-up for demos can be found on the Training & Resources pages.

  • What is my "CC"?
    CC stands for Conference Center. CC is a virtual location for your company’s meetings on Live Meeting and forms part of the web address that you need to either join a meeting or log into your account. When you set up the Outlook Plug-in, it will start by checking your preferences. You need to tell it what your conference center name is, e.g. http://www.placeware.com/cc/.

  • I am not able to download any add-ins to my desktop. What would cause this to happen?
    It is possible that your network administrator has stopped computers connected to the corporate network from downloading specific types of files. Before trying to download any of the add-ins, you should contact your local IT helpdesk and check whether you need to get them to either download it or even install it as there could be a security policy in place to stop normal users from doing this.

  • The download is complete but I don’t see the icons in Outlook. What steps do I need to take so they appear?
    To make the icons appear:
    • Confirm that the version of Outlook you are running is supported.
    • Check in your View > Toolbars option to see if the menu is listed but not selected. If it is not listed there, go to the control panel (in the Start menu of Windows®) and open Add or remove programs.
    • Check to see that the Microsoft Office Live Meeting Add-In Pack is installed. If not, try to reinstall the pack. Make sure that Outlook is completely closed before you do so.
    • Open Outlook and click Help, then select About Outlook. There is a button at the bottom of this page labeled Disabled Items. Click this. If LMAddin is in the disabled list, re-enable it and restart Outlook.
