Attendees may have to scroll to see the whole shared screen in Live Meeting 2005 (894655)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Live Meeting

SYMPTOMS

When a presenter shows a shared screen in a Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005 meeting, the attendee will need to scroll to see the presenter's whole screen.

CAUSE

This issue may occur when the screen resolution of the presenter is higher than the screen resolution of the attendee.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Hide panels

Click Hide Panels on the View menu in the Live Meeting 2005 meeting console.

Method 2: Change the screen resolution

As a presenter, verify that your screen resolution is comparable to that of your attendees. To lower your screen resolution, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Change the screen resolution.
  2. Under Screen resolution, move the slider control to the left (lower) to match the screen resolution of your attendees.
  3. Click OK to close the Display Properties dialog box.

MORE INFORMATION

The sharing feature captures, in real-time and pixel-for pixel, whatever is being shown on the presenters screen. If the presenter's screen area is set to an equal or higher screen resolution than that of the attendee, not all the presenters screen will fit on the attendees screen. When this occurs, the attendee will have to scroll to see the presenters whole screen.
