In recent months we have been asked several times by users if we could add a real time desktop share application to our set of interactive multimedia tools. However, as our philosophy is focused on offering tools that require no installation that task required some more research. We were 100% successful on the customer side who only needs a Flash Player while on the host side, the presenter needs to have a Java Plugin.
The main features of the Desktop Sharing tool are:
- Ability to transmit both the screen image and the mouse motion from the host to the customer.
- Bandwidth usage optimization: quickly transmits screen changes and later improves quality.
- Screen capture gallery: generates a sequence of screen captures that can later be loaded and edited to the whiteboard.
Prerequisites: Browser: Mozilla Firefox, IE7 (IE6 is not supported); Java plugin 1.5 or higher. (only on the presenter side) and Flash player.
