NetMeeting delivers a complete Internet conferencing solution for all Windows users with multi-point data conferencing, text chat, whiteboard, and file transfer, as well as point-to-point audio and video. I am not sure if netmeeting was removed. I can't find a link on Microsoft's site to install it. It says it's not available for XP. Their site mentions Netmeeting Space which I can't find. I need to use netmeeting to connect to another netmeeting at work. Is there anyone who packaged Netmeeting to be installed on demand on XP? Microsoft NetMeeting is a discontinued VoIP and multi-point videoconferencing client included in many versions of Microsoft Windows (from Windows 95 OSR2 to Windows XP). 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.

Is there anyone who packaged Netmeeting to be installed on demand on XP? I mean how do you get it back?

Microsoft Netmeeting (will not install on XP
Edit:
How about this:
- Click Start, Run and type %Systemroot%Inf
- Locate the file named msnetmtg.inf (Note that it may display as just msnetmtg if the Folder options is set to hide the extensions)
- Right-click the msnetmtg.inf file, and choose Install
- When you're prompted for the Windows XP CD-ROM, do any of the following:
- Point the installer to %Systemroot%i386 or %Systemroot%ServicePackFilesi386 folders, whichever location has the latest version of system files.
- Insert your Windows XP CD-ROM into the drive. Note that if you've a Service Pack installed, you need the slipstreamed XP CD. If you don't have one, use method 1 above.

Microsoft discontinued NetMeeting a while ago and it is no longer included in Vista or Windows 7. I have read that there is a hot fix to get it working on Vista, but is there such a thing for Windows 7?

I know there are alternatives available, but I was wondering if anyone has managed to it working on Windows 7? I am just interested in running the client component of NetMeeting, to connect to a meeting hosted on a Windows XP machine.

Discussion on SevenForums Netmeeting replacement in Windows 7 has this to say,
Does Netmeeting work in Win7?
No it doesn't, nor does the 'Vista compatible' version of Netmeeting. Unless something is offered to replace it, Windows Meeting Spaces (or whatever it is called in Vista now) isn't even included in the Win7 beta, or at least I can't find it if it is.

But, do read it up once.
There is also a Wikipedia note on the same.

We have tried it and it does work in XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx) but it is not something we really want our users to have.

yes Netmeeting does work in Win 7 but I can't use the Sharing function (it was grey out and can't be selected). Other user who can continue to share their apps/desktop.

For support purposes: Microsoft's Offer Remote Assistance is better than Netmeeting.
It can be configured to allow admins to assist without issue and allows users to view while support is occurring.

- 'Restore down' (i.e. un-maximize) the VM window to get access to the tools menu
- Select 'Disable integration Features' from the 'tools' menu
- (Re)maximize the VM window
- (Re)launch Netmeeting only after previous steps were complete
- (Re)join any call you were in where you wanted to share an app or your desktop
- Share like you did before Windows 7

Netmeeting works in Windows 7. Here's how, assuming that you are connecting to a private network.
- Install XP virtual machine and run it
- In the title bar,
Tools->Settings->Networking
- Change the adapter from NAT to your installed hardware network adapter
- Setup VPN in the XP VM, run it, and connect to your private network
- Enable the windows firewall in the XP VM (optional but recommended)
Start->run->conf
- Configure netmeeting
