Breeze Meeting is a Web-based collaboration tool that includes video conferencing, application sharing, live polling, chat, whiteboards, and presentations. Live, synchronous interactions with small or large groups take place right on your desktop.
Breeze Meeting is supported by Information Technology Services (ITS) at Penn State.
See the Breeze Meeting site for more information, including a Quick Start guide, documentation, and tutorials.
Penn State has purchased a Breeze Meeting license so faculty and staff can use this tool in support of teaching, research, and service. It allows for unlimited meeting participants, but it does limit the number of people ("named users") who may have permission to create meeting space and designate a meeting "host." Each college and administrative unit at Penn State has been given a limited number of these "named user licenses."
See the listing of the Breeze Meeting contacts for the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences to locate the individual(s) responsible for creating Breeze Meeting space in your area. To request Breeze meeting space, simply contact that individual with your request.

ITS provides a number of helpful resources, including:
