1. The ability to switch audio and video from one person to another in the
same meeting. Also, you can disconnect and reconnect video and audio in case
you have a bad connection.
2. History updates automatically
3. History shows whether a call was accepted or received
4. Speeddial will show when users on speeddial are logged in
5. When placing a call, you have the option to cancel if the other party is
in a meeting.
6. Audio and video hardware is shown graphically when in a call, and whether
it's on or off. Basically, you can tell almost immediately if the party
calling you has video and whether or not it's on. Also, when you call
someone, you can tell if the video and audio connected properly or not.
Netmeeting is notoriously unreliable in making a proper connection.
There are others, but those are the major points that come to mind. This is
what I recommend: if you're going to use it primarily to talk to friends and
family, use 3.01 for the better video, audio and RDS. If you are going to
use it to make and receive random calls from the ILS servers, then
definately use 2.11.

I think they're going to make a BIG mistake.

1. using netmeeting 1. with someone with netmeeting 2
Yes you will -- I have talked to people that use versions 1.0 , 2.0b1 , &
2.0b2 -- the only difference is 1.0 does not have as good a sound quality
as 2.0b1 and 2.0b2 .
2.0b2 also loads the directories faster .
