Is it difficult to learn?

No. GlobeMeeting is based on a color graphical interface that is easy to understand and use.

What are the minimum system requirements?

System Requirements: A multimedia PC, Pentium 133 MHz ; 128 MB RAM minimum,
video card (800 x 600, 65 thousand colors), SVGA monitor, sound card full duplex if you
wish to use multivoice, headphone and microphone. Network card (10baseTX) or 56
Kbs minimum (Internet). Camera, if video capture is desired.

For application sharing, we recommend using a Pentium II 333 Mhz, 256 MB RAM and
a high-speed Internet connection.

What applications and operating systems are required?

Operating system: Windows 98

What IP ports are needed to use the client application?

GlobeMeeting requires the use of two communication ports, being 443 (HTTP protocol
over SSL) and 80 (Alternative HTTP port or otherwise known as web port). What are
these ports used for?

	443:	Port used by GlobeMeeting for the transfer data
	80:	Port used by GlobeMeeting's web portal

These ports can be customized. We utilize these ports by default on our servers as they
are generally unblocked by company network administrators.

Should you utilize or purchase your own server, you will have the liberty to use any
given open port in your company, granted you are assured that a chosen port causes no
conflict, which generally is a responsibility held by the network administrator.

Is GlobeMeeting compatible with office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint? How can I integrate this type of file? Can I use the source files (.xls, .doc, .ppt) directly? Do I need to convert them to HTML?

By using the option broadcast, all the web type pages (HTML) are made available to
participants. Applications such as word, excel, pdf and others can be broadcasted so long
as all participants have the application installed on their respective computers. In a such a
case where a participant does not have a required application, the sharing of application is required. All Powerpoint documents can be broadcasted at any time.

Is the interface multilingual?

Yes. GlobeMeeting is offered in French, English, Italian, Spanish, and German. The language can be controlled with the simple click of a button.

What equipment do I need for using GlobeMeeting?

To summarize the details presented in the section “minimum system requirements”, you need a computer, headphones with a microphone, a Webcam (optional), and the GlobeMeeting application.

Do I need to download additional applications to use GlobeMeeting?

Unlike other software of this type, no other application is needed for its use. The GlobeMeeting application is all you need.

What factors affect the performance of my meetings?

The Internet in general and the performance of your computer can affect the performance of your meetings. If you use your own IP network, performance will be optimal. Furthermore, GlobeMeeting can be configured for IP networks.

I have a high-speed Internet connection. Will that help?

Definitely. The faster the Internet connection is, the better your performance.

What is the difference between document sharing and application sharing?

Document sharing means sharing files that have been made accessible to the other users so that they can be downloaded. Application sharing on the other hand has two modes. Normal mode allows the sharing of an application, for example Word or Excel. You share only the desired window and the windows attached to it if necessary. In Desktop mode, you share everything that appears on your computer screen. In short, Normal mode lets you give control of a particular application to a remote user, whereas Desktop mode gives the remote user full control.

What types of files or applications can I share?

You can share any type of file: photos, videos, Word documents, and Web pages. Anything is possible.

Can I share several documents at once?

Yes, you can share several documents at once, but only if you are in Desktop mode.

What happens if the people attending the meeting have different screen resolutions?

Everything actually depends on the configuration of the moderator’s screen. A full screen mode, available in the software, facilitates viewing while sharing.

Can I prevent individuals from joining my meeting?

Yes, it is possible, when reserving the room, to add a password for accessing the meeting. Furthermore, a user must be registered in a room to have access to it.

What does GlobeMeeting offer that others don’t?

The application has advantages that give it an edge over its closest competitors. For example, it allows private or group discussions and conversations, text or voice, without the use of a telephone. It has archiving capabilities that no other application has thus far been able to offer. Also, with its interaction tools, it is possible to get the reactions of participants or to “raise one’s hand” to attract attention. Furthermore, GlobeMeeting is sold by license and not billed by the minute, contrary to what is currently happening on the market. Therefore, the user can use it in an unlimited manner at modest cost.
