2. Join a Meeting
 
Joining a seminar (view-only) is simply a matter of typing a URL in your browser. The following steps are needed to join an interactive meeting for the first time users.
 
Step 1 Click the Join Meeting button 
   
 
Step 2 Fill in the Meeting ID, Meeting Password, and your name. Click the “Join Meeting” button
   
 
Step 3  When prompted to accept TurboMeeting download, click “Yes” or “Always”. If there is no prompt (because your computer does not have a proper Java virtual machine installed), click the “Download TurboMeeting” link to manually download and run TurboMeeting.
   
 
If the manual download is not required, you are automatically joined in the meeting.
  
If manual download is required, after you run the download, click the “Join a Meeting” button. Next, fill in again the Meeting Address, Meeting ID, Meeting Password, and your name. Click “Join Meeting” button. See the figures below.
