Microsoft Announces Free Skype Meetings

Microsoft today introduced Skype Meetings, a new online meetings tool that provides small businesses with real-time audio and HD video conferencing. Skype Meetings makes it easy to share screens and content during a conference call.

With Skype Meetings, you can quickly set up meetings and share a personalized URL that participants click to join the meeting. During the meeting, participants can IM, share their screen or PowerPoint presentation or use the laser pointer and whiteboard features to make it more engaging and productive. The meeting organizer also gets professional meeting controls such as the ability to mute the audience in order to be heard.

An Office 365 business subscription gives you the ability to conduct large group meetings for up to 250 people and the ability to IM anyone in your organization at any time.
