Term2.png SCREEN SHARING
Is a feature of remote access. It enables the host to show his/her own computer screen via the World Wide Web to one or more users in real time. It also allows the host to pass on the control access to another person. Screen sharing tools can be used to give presentations, to collboratively work on a document, to give a tour of a website, to show an application, etc. [1]

Contents

Step by Step

Choosing a Screen Sharing Tool

When choosing a screen sharing tool, the following questions need to be answered:

  • Is there a system requirement for the presenter/participant? (i.e.: Windows)
  • How many participants can join the meeting? (i.e.: max. 25 participants)
  • What special features are needed? (i.e.: audio)

Conducting a Screen Sharing Session

Usual steps to start sharing a screen (Moderator):

  • 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

Practical Tips

It is recommended that the presenter and the participant(s) have speedy internet connection to see the screen without experiencing a long delay
