    3. Online MeetingsFor any conference type chosen, all online meetings will have the following functions:

    2. Presentations: The moderator can present during the conference Office- and PDF documents (Powerpoint, Excel, Word, OpenOffice) as well as import images and present them interactively to the participants.

    4. File-Sharing: The moderator can provide documents and files for download.5. Audio and video transmission: The moderator can transmit video and audio

    from a camera connected to his or her PC directly into the conference room.

    3.1. Types of ConferencesThere are various requirements for an online meeting; therefore spreed offers different types of conferences. The difference between the conference types is given by the access type to the conference and the transmission of the participants audio and video data.

    Illustration 9: Account deletion confirmation form

  • 3.1.1. Conference

    A conference is ideal for an online meeting with a closed, manageable group of participants. The conference is password protected and can be accessed by a participant only by explicit invitation from the conference moderator. During the conference the moderator and the participants can transmit their audio and video data.

    3.1.2. Training

    The conference type Training is suitable for reproducing scenarios like a training, course or workshop. The audio and video transmission capability of the participants is therefore restricted. All training participants (trainees) can receive the audio and video transmission of the moderator (the person running the seminar), whereas only the moderator will receive all audio and video data of the participants.

    3.1.3. Instant Meeting

    By using an instant meeting, you can address a bigger target group. Unlike a normal conference, an instant meeting can be accessed without any explicit invitation from a participant. Knowing the meeting ID and entering a name is sufficient to access the meeting. In an instant meeting only the audio and video data of the moderator are transmitted.

    3.1.4. Broadcast

    A broadcast can be compared with an anonymous instant meeting and is ideal for the transmission of a meeting to as many participants as possible. The participants enter the conference totally anonymously. The participants are merely observers of the meeting, because only the audio and video data of the moderator are transmitted. Knowing the meeting ID is sufficient to enter a broadcast meeting.

    3.2. Starting a ConferenceLog in to spreed using your email and password. After a successful login you will be automatically redirected to the conference administration. Here you can create a conference and edit existing ones. If you havent created any conferences yet, the conference creation form will be automatically displayed. The number of conferences, the possible duration of a conference as well as the number of conference participants depend on the purchased spreed package. As a user of the spreed free package you can create a conference with at most 5 other participants, the conference duration being limited to 10 h. The conference creation dialogue expands to several pages. You can use the next and back button at the bottom to navigate between the pages, so you can check or edit your data anytime. You can also jump directly to an area by clicking the labels between these two buttons.

    struktur AG 2006. All rights reserved Page 9 of 34

  • First enter important data, like the name of the conference, the start time, and duration of the conference. Give a meaningful title and a significant description, to specify the exact subject of the conference. Go to Start and specify the starting time of the conference. Please use the current time displayed in the upper right corner for orientation. This time is the actual and exact time, being synchronized with the spreed.com server.Go to Duration and specify how long the conference will last likely. The maximum duration is displayed on the right.Keep the standard conference type Conference. If you wish to keep participants waiting in an upstream Waiting area until you decide to allow them into the started conference, activate Lobby. If the lobby is deactivated, all participants will immediately enter a conference, without permission from the moderator.

    3.2.1. Adding Participants

    Hint: If you have selected Instant Meeting or Broadcast as a conference type, you can directly jump to 3.2.3 Loading files because for these two types of conferences the explicit adding and invitation of participants is not needed. You can find more information also at 3.1 Types of Conferences as well at 3.1 Inviting Participants to aConference.

    Click on Next, to go to the screen where you can enter the conference participants. You will be automatically added as a moderator of the conference. The check in the the Moderator-column denotes, that you are the conference moderator.If you want to invite more participants to the conference you have the possibility to add them directly or from the address book.

    3.2.1.a Adding Participants Directly

    Select directly, to add a participant not saved to your address book. A participant which was directly added will not be saved to your address book.

    3.2.1.b Managing Contacts Using the Address Book

    The address book makes it possible to save contacts permanently and comprehensively.

    struktur AG 2006. All rights reserved Page 10 of 34

    Illustration 10: Conference creation dialogue

    The time is synchronized with the spreed server.

    With the labels you can navigate directly to a section.

  • This way you can save frequently used contacts to your address book and add them quickly and simply as a conference participant. Select from address book, to open the address book.Besides manually adding new contacts to your address book, you also have the possibility to import contacts. The imported file must be a valid CSV file, previously exported by MS Outlook or Outlook Express.

    You can export the contacts from your address book, too.The exported file is a valid CSV file, which you can import into MS Outlook or Outlook Express.

    If you want to add contacts from the address book as participants, select the contacts and click invite. The contacts are now added as participants to the conference.

    Hint: To select several contacts, when clicking the contacts, hold down the CTRL Key or click on Select all, to mark all contacts in your address book.

    3.2.1.c The Participants Time Zone

    The importance of time zones arises especially when you want to hold a conference with participants from all over the world. Entering the correct time zone, when creating a new address book entry, is therefore very important. This way you can assure that participants will see the starting time of the conference displayed in their local time.

    If you dont exactly know the time zone for a participant, use the comfortable world map as an alternative to the drop-down menu. You can access the world map by clicking on the globe icon.

    Use the dopdown menu or the interactive world map to select

    the right timezone

  • 3.2.2. Editing the Invitation E-mail

    The e-mail sent as an invitation to the conference participants can be edited using the integrated e-mail editor.The standard text contains all important information needed for entering a conference. The standard text is available in different languages. E-mails sent in languages for which no standard text exists, will be sent with the English standard text.

  • To modify the language, select the desired language using the drop-down menu Standard language.

    You can adapt the standard text for all participants, as well as individually for each participant. You can enter plain text and placeholders for entering conference-specific information, like starting time, access password or meeting-id so that you can create an individual invitation. To see a preview of the text where the placeholders are replaced with real conference data, choose the preview-button.

    3.2.3. Loading files

    Illustration 16: Inserting placeholders into an individual participants text

  • As soon as a presentation is uploaded, in the background it will be automatically converted and optimized for the presentation mode of the conference by spreed.com.

    3.2.4. Finishing the Conference Creation

    Click on Next, to finish creating the conference. The most important conference data is displayed again as an overview. Verify the information, and, if necessary, go back to one of the dialogues to correct it.

    The most important attribute of the conference is the meeting ID. This number is unique and identifies a conference. A user who knows the meeting ID and the password can enter a conference without an invitation e-mail.

  • 3.2.5. Inviting Participants to a Conference

    When creating an online meeting of the type conference, all conference participants will automatically receive an invitation e-mail, as soon as you click on Invite. As a confirmation you too will receive an e-mail with all conference information. The conference can be now started. If you later wish to make modifications, please select Edit conference.

    Hint: If you change essential settings, like the starting time of the conference, dont forget to inform your conference participants by inviting them again.

    3.2.6. Inviting Participants to an Instant or Broadcast Meeting

    Of course you can individually add and invite participants to an instant meeting or a broadcast meeting (as described in 3.2.1 Adding Participants) However, because the number of participants at an instant or broadcast meeting is much higher, and the moderator supposedly doesnt personally know all participants, the publication of the meeting ID is recommendable, by means of a newsletter, telephone or your homepage. You can find more information at 7.2 Entering an Instant Meeting and 7.3 Entering aBroadcast.

    3.2.7. Deleting a Conference

    If you want to delete a conference, select Delete conference. All participants already invited will receive an automatically generated e-mail, informing them about the cancellation of the conference.

Every conference participant is automatically identified by his/her user name and personal selectable color. This way the list offers a clear view even if there are many participants. Using the chat function for a question-answer-style meeting is very comfortable and answering questions from several participants gets clearer.

    5.1.2. Presentations

    You can import and interactively present Office and PDF documents (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, OpenOffice) as well as images. The participants will always see depending on their settings the slide you are actually showing and will have the possibility to navigate in your presentation. Of course, this will work only for already shown slides, which were, thus, unblocked.

    To close the conference, click the Stop Button at the Control Panel. To prevent closing the conference by mistake, you have to confirm this action twice. Only after answering Yes to both security questions the conference will be ended. A message will be shown to all participants, stating that the conference has ended.

    6.1. Access to Ended Conferences

    An ended conference cannot be accessed any more, however, you still can access the files used during the online meeting. The conference moderator and the participants, as well, can access a closed online meeting in the Conference archive.
