Windows Live Meeting — A Retired Microsoft Product
Windows Live Meeting was Microsoft’s online meeting and conferencing client from the mid-to-late 2000s, and it was retired years ago — first folded into Office Live Meeting and then fully superseded by Skype for Business, which has itself now been retired in favour of Microsoft Teams. There’s no current official download for the Windows Live Meeting client, and it won’t install or run reliably on modern versions of Windows even if you do track down an old copy.
If you’re looking for the modern equivalent — deploying an online meeting client across an organisation via Group Policy or Configuration Manager — Microsoft Teams is the current product, and the Teams desktop client can be deployed via its MSI installer (available direct from Microsoft) with standard silent install switches, making it a straightforward drop-in for the kind of mass deployment this post was originally about.
If you’re maintaining a legacy environment that genuinely still depends on Live Meeting for a specific reason, that’s a strong signal it’s time to plan a migration off it — it receives no updates, no security fixes, and no support from Microsoft.
