Where is Microsoft NetMeeting in Windows XP?
 

A. NetMeeting is a standard XP component that's hidden until you initially configuration. NetMeeting lets you participate in virtual meetings, work in shared applications, share data over the Internet or an intranet, and share live video with others in far-away places.

To enable NetMeeting, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the Start menu and select Run.
  2. Type
    Conf 
    and click OK.
  3. After the NetMeeting configuration wizard starts, click Next.
  4. Enter your personal details and click Next.
  5. Select listing directory options and click Next.
  6. Select your connection media and click Next.
  7. Configure the shortcut options to your liking and click Next.
  8. Click Next to configure volume options and Next again to confirm that the microphone works.
  9. Click Finish.

To begin a NetMeeting session, start NetMeeting (e.g., run conf.exe again to start the application or select the appropriate shortcut from the Start menu or desktop), click the Phone button, and enter the IP address of the machine you want to communicate with.

i found netmeeting in my computer on win xp but i want to connect to friends from msn messenger so how can i make it. cuz net meeting doesnt appear on messenger 6.1

osama -November 07, 2003

My Netmeeting was initiated by a friend of mine. When I am in MSN chatting with a friend, my friend's and my name are not in the netmeeting's name box. And so, I can't initiate a talk with my friend. On the contrary, my friend can initiate my Netmeeting and we can talk then. One more thing, he said Netmeeting option is under MSN already but I don't have that netmeeting option inside the circle with an arrow down. why

Your Comments (required): I tried the following way to enable netmeeting in my computer. But it didn't work. Go to the Start menu and select Run. Type Conf and click OK. Then I got such errors: Windows can not find 'Conf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. Do you know what wrong it is? Thanks, --Zhi

zhi xie -June 10, 2004

When I type Conf to get to Net meeting from XP, I get an error message that the "Procedure entry point could not be located in ...kernel.dll. Is there another way I can get Net meeting for XP?
