Creating and Managing Groups

You can create groups that contain multiple members, so that all the members in the group can easily be invited to meetings. For example, if you create a group called "Sales," which contains all Live Meeting members who work in your sales department, any organizer can invite all members of the department by sending an invitation to the Sales group.

Groups are a Live Meeting entity only. Creating a group in Live Meeting does not affect similar groups you create using other programs, such as your e-mail program.

A member can belong to any number of groups. You can make group assignments when you create or edit a membership. For more information, see Creating and Managing Memberships.

Note: To create and manage groups, you must be logged on to the Live Meeting conference center with a membership that is assigned the Administrator role. If your membership is not assigned the Administrator role, see your Live Meeting administrator.
