5 CHAPTER 1 Introduction Macromedia Breeze Add-in for Microsoft Outlook lets you create Breeze Live Instant Meetings or Breeze Live Scheduled Meetings from within Microsoft Outlook. You can use Outlook s familiar interface to review attendee availability, so you can schedule meetings when key participants are available. After you schedule a meeting, you can use Outlook to send meeting invitations, and Outlook reminds you of upcoming Breeze Live Scheduled Meetings. Macromedia Breeze is a complete solution for creating, managing, and delivering online meetings as well as other online presentations and training. One component of the Breeze platform is Breeze Live, which lets you quickly and easily schedule instant or future meetings with employees, customers, partners, investors, suppliers, and others who have access to your network. Macromedia Breeze is available as an enterprise solution or as a hosted application service. For more information about Breeze, see Getting started Breeze Add-in for Outlook adds the following Breeze Live toolbar to Outlook: Breeze menu Use the Breeze menu to access Breeze Add-in preferences and Help. The Breeze menu also lets you access the Breeze Manager from within Outlook. The Breeze Manager lets you manage the properties of Breeze Live Meetings. For example, you can change meeting access permissions to allow only registered attendees and accepted guests or to allow access to anyone using the meeting URL. For more information about the Breeze Manager, see Managing Breeze Live meetings on page 20. Instant meeting An Instant Meeting is a Breeze Live meeting that you can attend at any time, for any length of time, with anyone who you invite. Breeze Live Instant Meetings require an existing Breeze Live meeting room, which you can create from within the Breeze Add-in for Outlook or from the Breeze server. After you create the meeting room, you can click the Instant Meeting button on the Outlook Add-in toolbar to quickly create an ad-hoc meeting. When you create a Breeze Live Instant Meeting, Outlook creates an invitation that you can use to invite other attendees. Outlook does not add this meeting to your calendar or to the calendars of other meeting attendees. 5

6 Scheduled meeting A Scheduled Meeting is a Breeze Live meeting that is scheduled for a specific time and appears in the calendar of all attendees; a Scheduled Meeting can also be recurring. For these reasons, you should create Breeze Live Scheduled Meetings if you require the attendance of specific team members or if you want to create regularly scheduled meetings. A Breeze Live Scheduled Meeting requires an existing Breeze Live meeting room. After you create the meeting room, you can click the Schedule Meeting button on the Outlook Add-in toolbar to schedule a meeting. Integration with Outlook lets you easily review attendees schedules and plan times for your meeting, using Outlook s scheduling functionality. When you create a Breeze Live Scheduled Meeting, Outlook creates an appointment that you can use to invite other attendees. Outlook then adds this meeting to the calendar of all attendees and provides meeting reminders to all attendees who accepted the meeting invitation Setting preferences Add your user name, password, and Breeze server name to the Breeze Add-in for Outlook preferences when you install the Breeze Add-in. This information, which should be provided by your Breeze server administrator, lets you quickly create Breeze Live Instant Meetings or Breeze Live Scheduled Meetings. For more information about adding your Breeze server information, see Setting Breeze Live general preferences on page 23. Before you create a Breeze Live Instant Meeting or schedule a Breeze Live meeting in Outlook, you should set your meeting preferences by selecting Breeze > Preferences. This lets you set a default meeting room, default meeting invitation text, and audio conference information. For information about setting preferences, see Chapter 4, Setting Preferences, on page 23. Optimizing bandwidth Plan your Breeze Live Scheduled Meeting (or Breeze Live Instant Meeting) to optimize the bandwidth capabilities of your meeting attendees. If all attendees connect through fast broadband connections, you can easily include audio or video interaction within your Breeze Live meeting room. However, if some meeting attendees have slower connection speeds less than 56 kilobits per second (Kbps) you should consider using graphic images judiciously, and not including audio or video, to ensure that your audience has a good viewing experience. System requirements You must have the following hardware and software to run the Breeze Add-in for Outlook. Windows Windows 98 SE, Windows Millennium, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows MHz Pentium processor or greater 32 MB of RAM 5 MB of free disk space 6 Chapter 1: Introduction

7 Outlook versions Breeze Add-in for Outlook is designed for use with Outlook 2000, Outlook XP, or Outlook It is not designed for use with any other version of Outlook. Microphone and sound card To use audio during your meeting, you need a microphone and a sound card. A good-quality microphone and sound card can greatly enhance the interactions of the meeting participants. Note: Built-in laptop microphones generally produce poor-quality recordings. Macromedia recommends using an external microphone. Video camera To add video during your meeting, you need a video camera or a web cam. A good-quality video camera can greatly enhance the interactions of the meeting participants. Network connectivity For a user to participate in a Breeze Live meeting, you need a network connection. If meeting participants are connected to your network through an Internet connection, Macromedia recommends a fast connection of at least 100 Kbps. For current system requirements, see Guide to documentation and additional resources You can use several resources to learn how to use the components of Macromedia Breeze quickly. In addition to this guide, the following electronic manuals and online help systems are available: Note: The relevance of these guides to users depends on the modules installed on the Breeze Presentation platform, the type of user (such as meeting content manager, information technology engineer, or course presenter), and the user s Breeze account permissions. Using the Breeze Manager explains how to use the administration, presentation, and training components of Breeze. You can access this documentation from the Breeze Manager Home page and from the Help link in the Breeze Manager. Using the Breeze Publish Wizard includes procedures for publishing Breeze presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint to your Breeze server. You can access this documentation from the Breeze Manager Home page when you run the Publish Wizard. Breeze Live User Guide for Meeting Presenters includes information about using the Breeze web application to host online real-time meetings. The documentation includes procedures that show how simple it is to add slides, Macromedia Flash SWF files, images, live audio, and video to your presentation.
