Convene is an on-line meeting environment that you and your meeting attendees have the option to use during a teleconference meeting set up in Projecis. It is not screen-sharing, but does provide powerful tools to share content and keep all the information with the project, saving you from doing double work.
How to use:
See How to Create a Meeting
Approximately 15 minutes prior to the meeting time attendees can click on the meeting in their Projecis calendar and on the right there will be an option to "Join Meeting". By selecting this option the attendee will enter the Convene environment.
Since this is an optional meeting environment, it is recommended that you make sure your team is told if Convene is to be used.
