AnswerLive Meeting 2007 sharing a browser - grey shadows

    I am trying to configure LM 2007.   I am using it solely to share IE and possibly some documents.   The method of presentation is Share>Share a Program>Internet Explorer.   Doing this displays the IE page on the attendee screens.   The problem is twofold:
    1. I need to leave the browser up on my screen in order for it to be visible to the attendees.   Is it possible to "bring to front" the IE screen to eliminate the need for the presenter to have it maximized?
    2. When I access the sharing bar while IE is shared, the attendees see a grey "shadow" in their Live Meeting. 
    3. I would like to change the default background when an attendee joins a meeting to something other than solid grey, is that possible?

    I appreciate any help.

    Hi Josh Thiessen,

     

    For question 1: Even you share the IE program, I’m afraid you still need to maximize the IE window in order your attendees can view full web page on their meeting console.

    For question 2: The gray box that appears when the Presenter accesses the Live Meeting panel is by design. This is because the presenter is sharing an application and anything that is shown on the screen that is not that particular application will appear as a gray box to all of the Attendees.

    For question 3: You can partly customize the meeting console in LiveMeeting conferencing administration web console by clicking “Administer”à “Account”à”Customization”à “Branding”à “Create new branding”à “Step 6-LiveMeeting client Image”. However you can only change the image on meeting pane in LiveMeeting Client.

    Hope this helps.
