Windows Live Meeting is part of Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Lync Online software that takes advantage of cloud technology to bring people together from anywhere in the world. In a Live Meeting presenters can upload just about anything on their computer to share (PowerPoint’s, E-mails, Spreadsheets, Videos, etc). There are even interactive whiteboards so everyone in the meeting can write their ideas as though they were there live.
If there are several people in a conference room participating in the meeting, a tool called Roundtable can be purchased as a single camera/speaker/microphone system that sits in the middle of the table and projects a panoramic view of the conference room for others to see.
The entire meeting can also be recorded for those who could not make the meeting. This software seems to cover most everything one would need to host an online meeting or study group. One downside is your company or school would have to have the software and a cloud setup. I do not know the cost of the plan for schools, but for a small business it costs $6/month per user.
