New Instructor-Led Training: Introduction to Office Communicator

Microsoft now offers a free instructor-led session that introduces key Office Communicator usage scenarios through live demonstrations and hands-on activities.

This live course is held in a virtual classroom via Office Live Meeting. It will allow you hands-on experience to build knowledge, skills, and confidence to use Office Communicator more effectively. 

In this high-level overview, we will explore the following features:

  • Instant Messaging: Need a fast answer to a question? Use Office Communicator to easily find a contact and start an Instant Messaging (IM) conversation.
  • Presence: Use presence status to determine if and when a contact is available for an IM conversation or audio call. Set your own presence status to indicate how and when contacts can reach you.
  • Contact Management: Build your Communicator contact list for the way you work. You can add distribution groups or organize contacts into your own custom groups.
  • Audio and Video: Make or receive audio calls using your computer. If you have a webcam, you can add real-time video to your conversation.
  • Desktop Sharing: Share your desktop during an instant messaging session to collaborate or edit documents with a single colleague or an entire team.
  • Office Application Integration: View a contact’s presence status and start communicating from within your Office applications, including Microsoft Office Outlook and SharePoint.
  • Add a Live Meeting: Use the Meet Now option to quickly start a new conference and invite people who are either inside or outside of your organization.
  • Communicator Web Access: Stay connected with Communicator while at home or traveling – all you need is an Internet connection.

Is there a way to make the "In a meeting" status take priority over the "Away" status? My users notice that if their calendars have meetings, presence will show "In a meeting", but after a few minutes, this will show "Away".

Please let me know.

There is currently no mechanism to have the "in a meeting" state "win" over the "Away" state.  In a meeting implies that the user is present at a device, but is not interruptible (they are "busy" because of the meeting).  Away means the user is not at a device at all and therefore cannot be interrupted at all.

Two thoughts:

1. The free/busy data from Exchange is also available in Communicator - this does reflect the calendar
2. The timeout for going into the Away state is configurable in Communicator options - adjusting this may help.  Note that locking the computer will switch the user into the Away state immediately, though, regardless of the timeout.

Hi,
In my calendar it is scheduled as meeting but during that time my communicator shows me as available only. Is there any settings to be altered to get "in a meeting" status.

Hi, I have Office Communicator 2007 on my computer for work and for the past month, it won't have any status except for "Away".  Even if I'm active and having an active conversation with someone, it still says "Away" and it will not allow me to change it to any other options.  My company has not been able to help me resolve this issue.  Could someone please tell me how I could fix this issue?

Thanks
