  • How many participants can join the meeting? (i.e.: max. 25 participants)
  • What special features are needed? (i.e.: audio)
  • How much does it cost? (i.e.: free)


Conducting a Screen Sharing Session

Usual steps to start sharing a screen (Presenter):

  • Register (only the first time) and download software if required
  • Create a meeting
  • Invite participants
  • Start the meeting

Usual steps to start viewing a screen (Participant):

  • Register if required
  • Join the meeting by clicking on the link received via email
