Remembering the new capabilities of Lotus Sametime 8.5:

* Effective Online Meetings - never lose the first 10 minutes of a meeting to distributing passcodes again
* Reservationless Meeting Rooms - they can be instantly created for single meeting or kept and be reused. Of course, they can be scheduled through Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook calendars.
* Persistent meeting rooms are available 24x7 and have their own file library. Users can create rooms devoted to specific projects and store the appropriate materials there.
* The meeting experience is fully integrated into the Sametime Connect client. Users can create, find and join meetings right from Connect Client.
* A zero-download browser-based meeting experience is also available for meeting participants to view meeting content.
* Invite others to meetings by dragging names from the Connect Client contact list and dropping them on the meeting room.
* Accept meeting invitations in a single click - its just like joining a group chat request.
* Upload materials via simple drag & drop.
* Application and/or Screen Sharing for the Windows, Linux and the Macintosh.
* Simplified Audio and Video that takes the guess work out of multimedia collaboration
* New tools to communications enable any Web 2.0 application
* Simplified Management and Administration through the new Sametime System Console
* More effective IM and Mobility options - including zero download, browser-based chat and iPhone clients and deeper Microsoft Outlook integration
