We have just introduced Live Desktop Sharing for our users to try out. This allows you to share your desktop screen in real-time with all other users in your meeting.

Features

• Share whole desktop in real-time
• Pause sharing and annotate over your last screenshot

Tips for better performance

• If you are demoing an application, if possible, don't run the application full screen, run it at a smaller size, like half the screen or 3/4 the screen size. That way, only a partial image of the screenshot is sent to the server, instead of the whole thing.

Real-time Desktop Sharing vs. Screen Capture

    Screen capture is a single screenshot that allows you to incorporate a single screenshot of your desktop into your VyewBook, for documenting and annotating. Real-time Desktop Sharing allows for constant broadcast of your desktop to all meeting participants. If you want to annotate over a real-time desktop broadcast, you must pause it.
