Netmeeting was discontinued after Windows XP. Today there are much better ways to video conference, including Skype for Business, which also has the ability to share.
From Microsoft:
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. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

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.
