The appointment helps you to take part in a virtual meeting that is based on a computer conferencing application. To set up a virtual meeting you have to define the tools properties of the appointment accordingly.

Select  Join   from the action menu of the appointment to join a virtual meeting at the agreed upon time.

BSCW then sends a file to your Web browser with the MIME type that will start the computer conferencing application specified in the appointment object and connect it automatically to the correct addresses -- if your computer system, and in particular your Web browser, are configured appropriately. (Please consult the manual or the online help of your Web browser and of the conferencing application for further details.)
