This section is for people who administer the Live Meeting client for Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Administrators can modify the behavior of the Office Live Meeting 2007 R2 client by setting registry keys that are specific to the Live Meeting client. The Office Live Meeting client also shares a number of registry keys with Office Communicator 2007 R2. When you install one of these clients, the shared registry keys are provisioned for both clients.
Table 19-9 lists the registry keys that Office Live Meeting uses.

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftLive MeetingPreferencesServerServerAudioProviderName | If you are using an Audio Conferencing Provider (ACP) with Office Communications Server 2007, specifies the ACP URL. This key prepopulates the ACP provider name field in the client audio settings. |
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftLive MeetingPreferencesServerServerAudioProviderAccount | If you are using an ACP, specifies the ACP URL. This key prepopulates the ACP provider account field in the client audio settings. |
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftLive MeetingPreferencesServerServerTollFreeNumber | If you are using an ACP, specifies the ACP toll-free number in the format +1-8665556738. This key prepopulates the ACP toll-free number field in the client audio settings. |
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftLive MeetingPreferencesServerServerTollNumber | If you are using an ACP, specifies the ACP toll number in the format +1-2035558000. This key prepopulates the ACP toll number field in the client audio settings. |
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftTracinguccpLiveMeeting] "EnableFileTracing"= DWORD:00000001 "Tracing"= DWORD:00000001 | Enables client-side logging, which maintains a detailed log in the %USERPROFILE% racingdirectory (filename LiveMeeting-uccp-*.log). Client-side logging supplements the default logging in the %TEMP% directory (filename pwconsole-debug*.txt). |
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice12.0OutlookOptionsConflictMsgCls "IPM.Appointment.Live Meeting Request"= DWORD:00000004 | Minimizes a conflict error that users of the Conferencing add-in for Outlook may see when they are running the 2007 Microsoft Office System and Exchange Server 2007. In some circumstances, when the user creates or modifies a Live Meeting appointment, an erroneous Outlook message appears indicating that the appointment conflicts with another appointment. |
[1] The selected bitrate should account for transmission of both main and panoramic video. Therefore, the value should be higher than the equivalent setting for Office Communicator. This setting applies to audio and video traffic. It does not apply to data traffic related to application sharing. [2] The default UDP/TCP port range is 1024–65535. By default, none of these registry keys is set. Values in both the Attendee and Presenter modes must be set to make any of these settings become effective. | |
The registry keys in Table 19-10 are shared between the Office Live Meeting client and Office Communicator 2007 R2. When you install one client, these registry keys are created and provisioned for both clients. If a user changes his or her account information manually on one client, the account information will change on the other client.

Instead of requiring users to enter their account settings manually, administrators may want to configure these registry keys during client deployment. Otherwise, administrators will need to provide instructions to users about how to enter account settings.
