A Basic Guide To Web Conferencing Screen Sharing

Despite its growth as a communications tool, there are some aspects of web conferencing that are not fully understood by users. In fact, there might be some hesitation about using certain features. It is difficult to say whether security concerns are at the forefront in these cases but it is a strong possibility.

One useful tool of web conferencing that might instill such reluctance is screen sharing. It is without doubt one of the best features of this multi-faceted communications tool. It allows a PC user to share what is on screen with another user within a network. One individual can also take or give remote PC control of another person’s computer screen depending on what is required.

There are different types of web conferencing solutions on the market. As such, the steps for this process may vary, but the basic ones generally include:

• Start the web conferencing program
• Use the change presenter function to share the screen or to change the screen being shared
• If necessary take control of another computer using the change controller function

The change controller function is used by the host to give control to another user. This will allow that user to take control of the host’s screen. On the other hand, the host would use the change presenter function to share someone else’s screen. The new presenter can then share their screen with anyone they choose.

Guidance can also be found in the form of free demos on the websites of remote access vendors. Ease of use and security are important features that keep providers like RHUB Communications in the spotlight. The company’s TurboMeeting software makes screen sharing a simple procedure.

As the host, screen sharing gives you ultimate control. You can invite attendees, pause meetings so that your screen can no longer be seen. You can chat will all attendees at once or select specific attendees for online chat. This also applies to sharing of files. Get the most from your web conferencing solution by using the great screen sharing feature.
