![]() ![]() ![]() It's kind of weird, the Mac user can attend a Web Conference, can take control of someone else's (Windows) shared desktop in a Web Conference (as a "presenter"), the Mac user can share their desktop in an adhoc way with others, the Mac user just can't schedule a meeting and use their Mac Desktop to share out to others as the key presenter. The Mac user CANNOT schedule the sharing of their desktop in an Online Meeting request. The Mac user can share their desktop with multiple people, but it's done real time, meaning that the person gets invited to access the shared desktop right there and then. ) so Mac users are now able to share their desktops in OCS or in Lync! Note on Desktop Sharing for Macs: While Mac users can now share their desktops, it really is more of a personal peer to peer type sharing where the Mac user is sitting on their desktop, IM chatting with someone, and then offers up to share their desktop with the other person. UPDATE Dec 22 2010!: Microsoft just released Communicator 2011 for Mac v13.1 that now supports Desktop Sharing right within the Communicator client for Mac users (.Because of this limitation, organizations with Apple Macs that do a lot of Live Meetings should upgrade to Lync 2010, install Communication 2011 for Mac on their client systems, and they can then use the Silverlight client for full Live Meeting functionality. This Java Web client for OCS 2007 allows the Mac user to be a presenter or an attendee, but it does NOT provide any audio streaming in a Live Meeting (so Macs against OCS 2007 R2 have to “dial in” to a phone to listen to the Web conference). Mac users wanting to do Live Meeting against OCS 2007 R2 get an existing OCS 2007 Java Web client. This Live Meeting Silverlight client will NOT work against OCS 2007 R2.So for orgs migrating to Lync 2010, Macs will have Web Conferencing access through this Web/Silverlight client and will get audio/video over their Communicator 2011 for Mac client ![]()
