The system also allows for computer to telephone audio conferenceing meaning that users who don&#39;t have the needed computer equipment can still participate in confereces that use LiveMeeting. &nbsp;</p> <p>We are going to be using the system for some upcoming meetings supporting the DSMV and Budget committees.</p> <p>More information cann be found at <a href="http://www.livemeeting.com" class="null">http://www.livemeeting.com</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
