What is Microsoft Office Live Meeting?

Microsoft Office Live Meeting is a hosted Web conferencing service that connects and engages audiences in online meetings, training, and events through a reliable, enterprise-class hosted service. With meeting attendees participating from their PCs, you can deliver a presentation, kick off a project, brainstorm ideas, edit files, collaborate on whiteboards, and negotiate deals at a fraction of the cost and without the hassle of travel.
Microsoft has provided GITCA (formerly known as Culminis) sponsored user groups the opportunity to utilize a live meeting account.  FHITUG uses it's account to hold the monthly board meetings, committee meetings and to provide a means for presenters to collaborate prior to actual user group meeting.
We may conduct a couple of meetings a year online, thus making the user group accessible to a wider audience in the IT Community.

 How to Set an Alert in SharePoint

It can be tiresome to continually check the SharePoint site to see if any new information has been posted.  You can set an alert to receive an email, if new or updated information has been added to our "members only" SharePoint site.  Click this link to view a short video demo on how to set an alert once you login and then wait to receive the emails because we are always adding new content to the site.
