Creating a meeting
When you create a meeting, you can speak with other participants, share your desktop or webcam, or
invite participants to the meeting. You can also wait for others to join the meeting and share a
desktop.
You're the meeting's owner when you create a meeting. Owners can control a number of meeting
options, such as microphones, webcams and the ability to write on the shared desktop.
The owner isn't necessarily the participant who shares their desktop. The person who shares their
desktop is the presenter, and, like the owner, the presenter can control a number of meeting options
for the other participants. However, the changes a presenter makes to the meeting options don't
apply to the owner.
