What is a Lync 2013 meet-now meeting?
From the perspective of the developer, a meet-now meeting is a multi-party capable audio conference that is started programmatically with a single method call. There is no need to configure a conference object with the modalities needed to start the meet-now meeting. The call to the Automation.BeginMeetNow method starts an operation that activates an audio conference on Microsoft Lync Server 2013 that can be joined immediately. The Automation.EndMeetNow method returns a Microsoft.Lync.Model.Extensibility.ConversationWindow hosts the meet-now meeting and can be docked in your application. The ConversationWindow object gives you programmatic access to the meeting so that you can manage meeting access, presenters, and participant video.
