In this configuration, you can escalate an Instant Messaging session to a Web conference by using Live Meeting through Office Communications Server or by using the Live Meeting service through Office Communicator.

However, the displayed menu option does not make it clear to the user whether the session will be opened by Office Communications Server or by the Live Meeting service.
