Live Meeting 2007 Needs to Support "Fit To Page" With Shared Desktop
Microsoft Live Meeting 2007 needs to support automatic stretching/shrinking of the leader's shared desktop and all their running applications with the virtual attendee machines. In order to be a viable alternative to WebEx (which already supports this), Microsoft needs to add this feature. We'd prefer to use a Microsoft solution but may be forced to go with an alternative.
I work for a CPLS (Microsoft Certified Partner for Learning Solutions). We are using a high resolution desktop (1920 x 1080) against a touch screen SMART Board in order to teach virtual classes for SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 with C# and VB. During the training delivery, we will (often times) open Visual Studio to demonstrate coding and examples. The practice of uploading PPTXs, DOCXs, and HTML pages (which can be stretched/shrunk) is not enough for us to deliver quality training.
**Note that this is only a problem for our students whose machines do not support the minimum 16:9 resolution of 1920 x 1080.
I believe other folks are experiencing this same problem, thus the previous asked questions about "Fit to Page." I appreciate Microsoft's Support team for their answers. They were quite helpful. Thank you.
Are there other options I am not aware of to enable the use of Live Meeting 2007? Thank you for any feedback and/or suggestions.

- Hi
Live Meeting doesn't support automatic resizing of the resolution however if you are doing a desktop share you can go to the Live Meeting toolbar (at the top of your screen) click on the options button and the resolution and you will see the screen resolution of all the attendees and you can chose to resize your resolution to match theres.
Let me know if you can't find it.

JJ - That is not really a viable option. If you have to resize your screen down so that the person with the lowest resolution can easily see it, you may end up with items on your screen being so large that it affects your ability to present your content easily. I agree with the above statement. Microsoft needs to fix this. It is a real problem.
