## Example e-mail invitation to join a meeting

**Click here to check your system prior to joining.  Slides 4 & 8 explain meaning.**

**This may change for different events.**

**Click here to join meeting.**

**Here is the usual VANTS number + access code**

## “Check your system” outcomes

_**Best outcome:**_** **
**Your computer allows Active X**
**You have LiveMeeting installed**
**More features (eg, you can be a presenter) if  you install the LiveMeeting Add-in **

_**Adequate outcome:**_** **
**Your computer does not allow Active X**
**You can join a meeting, but cannot control slides**

_**If the right-hand screen appears, choose one of the two options:**_
**“****Install And Join” is the best option (examples on slides 5 & 8), but your VA computer may not allow you to install anything (mine didn’t).**
**Everyone should work with local IT to eventually install LiveMeeting.**
**The “Use Web Console” is an adequate alternative and works on every VA computer that I’ve tried.**

**We use VA VANTS telephone lines for audio, so this button does nothing.  (1-800-767-1750, code differs for events)**

**“****Resources” are PowerPoint, Word docs, etc. that are shared with all participants.**
**Right-Click in this area to make a document visible to all (see slide 6).**

_**Resources are PowerPoint slides, Word docs, etc.**_**  **
**Right-click in box to handle Resources.**
