Windows NetMeeting

Windows NetMeeting is a discontinued VoIP and multi-point videoconferencing client that was included in many versions of Microsoft Windows (from Windows 95 OSR2 to Windows Vista).

It uses the H.323 protocol for videoconferencing, and is interoperable with OpenH323-based clients such as Ekiga, OpenH323, and Internet Locator Service (ILS) as reflector. It also uses the T.120 Protocol for whiteboarding, application sharing, and file transfers.

History
NetMeeting was released on May 29, 1996, originally bundled with Internet Explorer 3, and later with Internet Explorer 4.

Discontinuation
Windows XP removed the Start menu shortcut to NetMeeting and users must execute NetMeeting by typing  into the Run dialog.

Windows Vista would later completely remove NetMeeting from the OS in favor of Windows Meeting Space which was later discontinued in Windows 7.

Microsoft originally recommended using newer applications such as Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, Skype, Microsoft Office Live Meeting and SharedView in place of NetMeeting. All except Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance and Skype had been discontinued and none fully replaced NetMeeting.
