SCHEDULE AN ONLINE MEETING

Schedule an online meeting or conference call by using the Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Lync 2013

Outlook add-in or by selecting contacts in Microsoft Lync.

Note: The Lync Meeting Add-in for Lync is automatically installed when Lync is installed. The Lync Meeting

Add-in for Lync 2013 is supported with Microsoft Office 2013 suites, Office 2010, and the Microsoft Office

2007 suites.

Important: Lync supports both online meetings and conference calls. One meeting request is used for both

purposes.

To create an online meeting or conference call meeting request, follow these steps:

1. Do one of the following:

In the Outlook Calendar ribbon, click New Lync Meeting.

In the Lync main window, in your Contacts list, hold down the Ctrl key and click the contacts you want to invite, right click one of the selected contacts, and then click Schedule a Meeting. In the meeting request, click Lync Meeting.

2. In the meeting request, in the To box, type the email address of each person you want to invite,

separated by semicolons.

3. In the Subject box, type a subject for the meeting.



4. (Optional) In the body of the meeting request, above the Join Online Meeting link, type additional meeting details.

Note Do not modify any of the existing text in the meeting request below the line. Doing so may prevent people from joining the meeting.

5. (Optional) On the Meeting tab, in the Show group, click Scheduling Assistant. Use the Scheduling Assistant to ensure that everyone is available during the time you choose.

6. On the Meeting tab, in the Lync Meeting group, click Meeting Options, and then accept or change the default options as required. Refer to Change meeting access and presenter options for additional details.

CHANGE MEETING ACCESS AND PRESENTER OPTIONS

The default options for online meeting are best for small conference calls or sharing and collaboration

sessions with people inside your organization. If you are scheduling an online meeting with people outside

your organization or your meeting is unusually large, use the Lync Meeting Options dialog box to help you

determine the following:

Who should wait in the lobby before being admitted to the meeting? The lobby is an online waiting area. You can control access to the meeting, or admit someone who doesn’t have the correct meeting credentials. People in the lobby can be admitted singly or all at once.

Who should have presenter privileges during the meeting? Presenters can share or upload meeting content, request permission to modify content shared by others, set in-meeting options, mute or unmutes others, and admit anyone who is waiting in the lobby. The meeting organizer is automatically a presenter.

Set Access and Presenter options

To set Access and Presenter options, do the following:

1. Create an online meeting request in Microsoft Outlook. For details, see Schedule an Online Meeting.



2. In the meeting request, in the Online Meeting group, click Meeting Options.

3. Under Permissions, choose the options appropriate to the size and type of meeting that you are

scheduling. For details, see the tables at the end of this procedure.

Where do you want to meet online?

A new meeting space (I control permissions): You get a brand new meeting with a unique ID, and can customize permissions such as who gets to be a presenter (presenters have full control over the meeting), mute people or prevent them from sharing video. This is recommended when inviting people outside of your organization or you want greater control of your meeting.

Refer to Conduct a Meeting as a Presenter for more details.

My dedicated meeting space: This is a good option for informal meetings with coworkers, which lets them sign in at any time with presenter permissions.

4. Click Phone, set options as required, and then click OK. For details, see Set Phone options at the end of

this procedure.

These people don’t have to wait in the lobby

Access options control which participants must wait in the lobby before being admitted by a presenter.

The following table describes each option in detail.



Who gets in directly? What happens Recommended when…

Only me, the meeting organizer

You are the only one who gets into the meeting directly. Everyone else has to wait until admitted.

You have a high security meeting and confidential information.

People I invite from my company

Only people who were invited can join the meeting directly. Everyone else has to wait until admitted.

You’re discussing confidential information, and want to only allow specific people to join.

Anyone from my organization

Anyone from your company can get in to the meeting directly, even if not invited.

You don’t have external participants and you are not discussing confidential information.

Anyone (no restrictions) Anyone who has access to the meeting link gets in to the meeting directly.

You’re inviting outside participants and you’re not discussing confidential information.

You can also set Announce when people enter or leave - Everyone can hear the names as people come and go. Not recommended for large meetings.

Who’s a presenter?

Presenter options control which participants are automatically given presenter privileges when you

schedule the meeting. The following table describes each of these options in detail.

Who’s a Presenter” What Happens When to choose this option

Only me, the meeting organizer

Only the person who schedules the meetings

Use when the participants don’t have to interact with the meeting content. You can designate additional presenters during the meeting if you change your mind.


Anyone from your company will be a presenter.

Suitable for causal meetings with your teammates, where all participants can share and modify content.

Anyone (no restrictions) Everyone you invite will be a presenter

Use when you have external participants and want them to present.

People I choose You and the participants you choose

Pick this option when you want specific people to be presenters.

When you select People I choose, click Choose Presenters and move the participants from Attendee to Presenters side. External invitees and distribution lists can’t be added as presenters with this option, but you can give presenter permission to individuals when you are in the meeting.



Set Phone options

Where will most people call in from?

Sometimes people call into the meeting with a phone instead of using computer audio. You can help

them find the local number (If available) quickly and avoid long distance charges by choosing the

area most people may call in from. The local number then shows up on the invitation for that area.

Forgot your Dial-in PIN (Personal Identification Number)

Most of the time, you don’t need a PIN when you call into the meeting with a phone. You get

connected directly and your number shows up in the participant list. But, if you want to call in as the

leader or an authenticated caller, you’ll be prompted for your PIN and/or work number.

Dialing in as authenticated caller simply means that the meeting is secured and you need to be

identified before joining the meeting. Your name then shows up in the participant list, instead of

your number.

If you don’t remember your PIN, click Get your PIN now in the meeting options, and follow the

instructions on the page to set it up or reset. Refer to Set my dial-in conferencing PIN for additional

details.

JOIN A MEETING OR CONFERENCE CALL BY PHONE

You can connect to a Microsoft Lync 2010 conference call or to the audio portion of an online meeting by

calling in. You can dial in either as a participant or as the conference call leader. Both leaders and

participants can use dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) to manage the conferencing experience.

Note: In Lync 2010 and the Online Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Lync 2010, conference call leaders are

referred to as presenters. The meeting organizer is automatically a leader.

If you are the conference call leader and are calling in without access to a computer, you must set your dial-

in conferencing PIN number before the call.

Set my dial-in conferencing PIN

You must use your dial-in conferencing PIN if you plan to join as the conference call leader. As a conference

call participant, you can also use your dial-in PIN and work number to be admitted to secure meetings—that

is, meetings limited to identified participants— without waiting in the lobby. To set or change your dial-in

PIN, do the following:

1. In the Lync main window, click the Show Menu arrow, point to Tools, and then click Dial-in Conferencing Settings.



2. On the Dial-in Conferencing Settings and PIN Management page, under Personal Identification Number (PIN), click Sign In.

3. Choose your preferred language, enter your email address and password for Lync, and then click Sign

In.

4. Under Personal Identification Number (PIN), click Reset your PIN.

5. Review the PIN requirements, enter and confirm your new PIN, and then make a note of it in a secure location.



6. Click OK.

Join as a participant

For most Lync conference calls, joining is as simple as dialing the number and recording your name. Once

you are connected to the call, you can mute your line or hear a list of people on the call by using DTMF

commands. DTMF commands are touch-tone codes entered on your phone’s keypad.

Join the conference call as a participant

1. Open the meeting request, and, under Join by phone, note the dial-in numbers and conference ID.

2. Dial the number listed, and, when prompted to do so, enter the conference ID, followed by the pound sign (#).

3. Wait for several seconds after you hear the prompt that begins “If you’re the leader...”

4. (Optional) If the meeting is secured—that is, limited to identified participants—do one of the following:

When prompted to do so, enter your work number, and then enter your dial-in PIN.

Wait on hold until the leader admits you to the meeting. 5. Record your name when requested to do so, and then press pound (#).

In the following situations, you must wait on hold before you are connected to the call:

The leader has not joined the call

It is a secure call, and you chose, in step 4 above, to wait in the lobby rather than enter your extension number and PIN.

Mute your line or hear a list of participants

The following table shows the DTMF commands, or touch-tone codes entered on you phone’s keypad, that

are available to participants during a conference call.



Press To do this

*1 Privately play a description of the available DTMF commands

*3 Privately play the name of each participant in the conference

*6 Mute or unmute your microphone

Join as the conference call leader

In addition to the dial-in number and conference ID, you must set and make a note of your dial-in PIN in

order to join a conference call as the leader. Once you are connected to the call, you can manage meeting

audio and other options by using DTMF commands.

Join the conference call as the leader

1. Open the meeting request, and, under Join by phone, note the dial-in numbers and conference ID. You can also click the Find a local number link in the invitation to see if additional dial-in numbers are available.

2. Dial one of the numbers listed, and, when prompted to do so, enter the conference ID, followed by the pound sign (#).

3. Do one of the following:

If you scheduled the meeting, press the star (*) key when you hear the prompt, and then enter your PIN.

If you are not the meeting organizer, wait until you hear the prompt “If you were designated as the meeting leader, please press star again.” Then press the star (*) key, and enter your phone number and PIN when prompted to do so.

You hear “You are now joining the meeting as a leader” and are connected to the call.

Note: If you are placed on hold or asked to record your name, then you were not authenticated as the

conference call leader. Hang up and try joining the conference call again.

Manage the meeting with DTMF commands

During the meeting, manage participants, audio, and the lobby by using the DTMF commands shown in the

following table.

Create a poll

A poll in Lync consists of one question and up to seven possible choices. A meeting can contain many polls,

but only one poll at a time can appear on the sharing stage, visible to all meeting participants.

Note: Only meeting presenters can create and manage polls. If you are not already a presenter, the meeting

organizer or another presenter can make you one.

In the meeting window, pause on the presentation icon.

Make sure you’re on the Present tab, and then click Poll.

Type a name for your poll, your question, and two or more possible answers.



Click Create. If no one else in the meeting is sharing, your poll appears immediately to everyone in the meeting with the words Poll is open at the bottom of the stage. If other sharing is taking place, you have the option to share your poll immediately, which would end the current sharing session, or save your poll in the content bin for later.

Show or hide a poll

As people respond to the poll, you and the other meeting presenters will see the results in real time.



To allow everyone in the meeting to watch the results, click Poll Actions and select Results are shown to everyone.

You or another presenter can switch back to hiding the results from meeting attendees.

To allow only presenters to watch the results, select Results are hidden from attendees.

Close a poll

When polling is complete, close the poll.

To stop the voting, click Poll Actions and select Poll is closed. The words Poll is closed appear at the bottom of the stage. The poll results remain on the screen.

Remove a poll from the sharing stage

When meeting participants have finished working with the poll results, you can remove the poll from the

sharing stage.

To remove the completed poll from the sharing stage, click Stop Presenting at the top of the stage.

The poll remains in the content bin to be used or saved later.

Edit the contents of a poll

Presenters can change a poll’s question or choices, either while polling is open (this restarts the poll) or

privately, away from the general view. In either case, editing a poll erases any previous votes.

Edit a poll that’s currently being shared

At the bottom of the sharing stage, click the Poll Actions and select Edit poll question and choices.

Make your changes, and then click OK to make the changes public. Meeting members can now begin voting on the edited poll.

Edit a poll that’s hidden

In Presentable Content, click the arrow on the More button for the poll you want to edit, and then click View Privately.

Click the Poll Actions and select Edit poll question and choices.

Make your changes, and then click OK.

Save poll results

You can save a Lync poll as a CSV file. CSV files can be opened in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software,

which offers many types of charts for presenting the polling results.

If you save the poll while it is visible in the sharing stage, you also have the option of saving it as a PNG

image.

Use the sharing toolbar at the top of the screen to stop sharing or give control to participants. For

details, see the following section.

Note Whenever you’re actively sharing, a bar is shown at the top of the window that reads

Currently Presenting. The meeting stage, in the right pane, shows a preview of what attendees are seeing, and a glow appears around the area being shared.

ready, you can allow others to use their own mouse and keyboard to navigate and make changes to

whatever you’re sharing. You can take back control at any time.

On the sharing toolbar, click Give Control.

Select the name of the person you want to give control to.

Lync sends a notification to that person to let them know you’re sharing control.

To take control back, click Give Control again, and then click Take Back Control.

If you have presenter privileges, you can prevent other people from sharing by doing the following:

Hover over the People Options menu, and then click Make Everyone an Attendee.

Note: in a normal IM conversation window, everyone will be a Participant and can Share as needed. You

can choose to ignore the shared meeting content.

Request control

When another person is sharing, you can request to take control.

On the sharing bar at the top of your screen, click Request Control. The person sharing must accept your

request before you can take control.



PRESENT POWERPOINT SLIDES

Presenting PowerPoint slides is an effective way to get your ideas across, and make your presentation

memorable by focusing on bulleted items and avoiding too many details.

Use the meeting controls such as annotation tools, presenter notes, and switching presenters, to help you

during your presentation. You can even make the slides available for downloading to all attendees to review

after the meeting.

Upload your PowerPoint presentation

It’s a good idea to upload your presentation in advance and practice with the presentation tools so you’re

comfortable using them in the meeting.

Pause on the presentation (monitor) icon, and click PowerPoint.

Find your presentation and double-click it to upload in the meeting.

To move the slides, use the arrows at the bottom of the meeting, or the arrow keys on your keyboard. You can also use the Thumbnails.

Click Notes to see your presenter notes (visible only to you).

If a slide contains a video, pause on the slide to unhide the video controls, such as Play, Pause or Stop. The audio plays for participants who used computer audio when joining.

Any animations in the slides play just like they do outside the Lync Meeting.

Press F5 on your keyboard to go to full-screen view, and Esc to go back to normal view.

Click the Annotations button on the right side of the slide to unhide the tools and draw, stamp, highlight, and so on.

Annotate a PowerPoint presentation

By using the annotation tools you can visually focus on various points in your presentation or brainstorm

with the participants. Annotating a presentation doesn’t change the actual file. However, you can save a

new copy with the annotations if you want.

In the stage, on the annotation toolbar in the lower-left corner, click the annotation tool you want.



Click the Annotations tool set icon on the upper-right side of the PowerPoint slide to unhide the tools.

you are sharing.

Select who can view your presentation privately

If you don’t want attendees looking ahead in the presentation, you can lock them to your view. Be aware

that other presenters can still look ahead in the presentation.

In the meeting room, click More Options > Lync Meeting Options.

Choose the permissions on annotations and view options:

Who can annotate PowerPoint presentations

Who can look at content on their own

Use this option when you want your participants to be able to look at the presentation on their own,

without interrupting your meeting. This is also a good option for other presenters who might want to skip

ahead to a slide they’re about to present.

View privately or Take Over as Presenter

Presenters can take turns presenting the slides in a meeting. While one person is presenting, another can

skip ahead to a specific slide and then return to the current view.

To view the slides privately, click the arrows at the bottom of the meeting to move through the slides. This won’t interrupt the meeting, and you’ll be notified that you are viewing the meeting privately.



To go back to the current view, click Return to Presenter’s View to synchronize your view with the active presenter.

To present, click Take Over as Presenter to take control of the presentation. Be aware that the meeting automatically switches to your view.

When you have finished your presentation, click Stop Presenting.
