Hosting a Network Meeting

Windows Meeting Space is a program that makes it possible for you to conduct or participate in virtual meetings over your network. To arrange for a meeting in which as few as two or as many as ten people can participate, one person needs to host the meeting.

Start a Meeting

Click the Start button, type meet in the Search box, and click Windows Meeting Space. If you aren't already signed in to People Near Me, sign in when prompted.

Click Start A New Meeting. If you don't want everyone on the local network to see the meeting, click Options, specify that you don't want to allow the meeting to be visible on the network, and click OK.

Enter a meeting name and a password for the meeting, and press Enter.

If you want to invite people by sending them the information about the meeting, click Invite.

Select the people you want to invite. Only those people who are signed in to People Near Me and are on the same local (subnet) network will be shown.

Click Send Invitations.

If you want to invite people who aren't listed, click Invite again, click Invite Others, and choose to send an e-mail or create an invitation file.

Send the e-mail message or the invitation file, and wait for the recipients to join the meeting.
