Communicator, LiveMeeting, and Conferencing Flashcards (“Cool Tips and Quick Tricks for Using Microsoft Unified Communications”)

I recently looked at deck hardcopy of Microsoft UC (Communicator, Live Meeting, and Conferencing) Flash Cards. I wasn’t expecting much, but they were actually very well done: nicely formatted, easy to understand, and have client-side pictures to help end-users. They are described as “Cool Tips and Quick Tricks for Using Microsoft Unified Communications”.

These could be very good aid the help your end-users understand some feature rich functionality such as the Conferencing and Live Meeting services during a roll-out. If you have RoundTable’s deployed, putting them beside the RoundTable is a good way to give users the information they need to start or join a Live Meeting.

These flash cards are available for download as Powerpoint files, and were recently updated for OCS and Communicator R2:
