Using Live Meeting 2007 with Windows 8 and Office 2013

With the many of us being out for the holidays over the past few weeks, I wanted to make sure that you didn't miss this important Live Meeting update for Windows 8 and Office 2013.  If you regularly use Live Meeting for webcasts, you'll want to make sure you apply these updates if you're running Windows 8, as they address important fixes to resolve screen update issues when sharing desktops from within a Live Meeting session ...

Note: When sharing application screens in Live Meeting on Windows 8, only "desktop-mode" applications are supported. Microsoft Lync 2013 is recommended for sharing Windows 8-style application screens via a webcast.
