Application and Desktop Sharing

Sharing an application allows you to show anything on your computer to your audience. The audience do not need to have the application installed on their computer to see and use yours. You can share one application at a time or share your entire desktop. It is best to have the application open and running on your computer prior to sharing it. To share an application, follow these steps: 1. In the Content window click on Share and select Share a Program and select the program you wish to share.
2. You will be automatically taken to the application on your computer and the audience will all be able to view it on their screens. You will notice the Currently Sharing icon on the top right hand corner of the application.
3. When you are sharing an application there will be a control menu on the top of the application. Use this to pass control of your application to anyone on the call and to end the sharing session and return to the meeting console.
4. To pass control of the application click on the Give Control icon, select the name of the person whom you wish to give control to and select ok.
5. To end your sharing session click on the return arrow on the control menu
Notes: The sharing can sometimes be slower for participants if they are using a slow internet connection. To ensure your audience can see what you are talking about, it is best practice to ask them to let you know if they can not see what you are doing during the sharing session. If they can not view your application you will need to wait for them to catch up before proceeding. The same process above applies if you wish to share your entire desktop, expect you select Share your Desktop instead of Share a Program from the Content/Share section. Back to Top
