What is screen sharing software?
Screen sharing software is technology designed to allow people in remote locations to view the same screen together simultaneously. Typically, this is achieved via a graphical terminal emulator, which enables the second user to see everything the first user is viewing and doing as if they were doing it themselves.
Screen sharing software has a range of applications capable of improving operational performance. It enables more efficient online training, for instance, by allowing instructors to demonstrate to trainees exactly what specific processes and tasks will look like. The rapid pace of development for personal computing technologies has required training for new technologies to be made accessible to tens of millions of end users, many of whom are increasingly working remotely. Secure screen sharing software and video conferencing have become integral to onboarding new end users and employees for many companies.
Several new technologies designed to support supply chains and business operations—from video conferencing solutions to cloud-based software services—now include screen sharing as a feature. As remote work becomes more popular, there will be an increase in demand for tools capable of facilitating remote collaboration and easing the restrictions physical distance can impose. Telecommuting and remote screen sharing software play a key role in improving the operational efficiency of many companies.
How can I share a screen without installing software?
Online screen sharing software solutions allow IT professionals to take advantage of the convenience and benefits of the technology without the expenses and resource needs associated with implementing an on-premises option. Cloud-based screen sharing solutions have advanced in recent years, with some tools now providing options for mobile screen sharing software—extending these benefits to all end-user devices connected to the network—and for fully functional remote applications, allowing one user to access the file systems of another during a remote session. Screen sharing software is an efficient way to provide remote support for Windows and Mac machines and to demonstrate issues in real time through remote desktop sessions.
Adopting a cloud-based screen sharing solution can improve a business’s operational efficiency in vital ways, but not all screen sharing tools are created equal. It’s essential to choose one with the best-suited features so you can get the job done right the first time.
What’s the best screen sharing software?
When choosing screen sharing software, there are several important factors to keep in mind. Ideally, the tool should be easy to use and demonstrably effective in making your team members more efficient or productive. here are some key considerations when reviewing screen sharing software:
- User Experience: is the screen sharing software interface organized, intuitive, and easy to use? does the publisher provide adequate tech and user support? are tutorials, training, and documentation easily accessible to end users?
- Software Features: screen sharing software is useful, but many tools offer additional functionality to increase their effectiveness. does the solution include interaction tools and note-taking tools allowing presenters to engage more naturally with their audiences? does it have recording options to automatically store presentations securely in the cloud and allow them to be easily distributed afterward? does it offer keyboard and mouse control for it support staff?
- Connectivity: does the screen sharing tool allow users to share screens and videoconference across device types and service providers?
- Integrations: does the software connect with the other tools you’re already using? does the publisher offer built-in integrations to make the software more effective?
- Cost: does the software publisher offer clear and flexible pricing options? is the price appropriate for the features and capabilities of the tool?
How does online screen sharing work?
Online screen sharing software captures the information displayed on one device screen and sends it to another device (or several devices) in the form of data packets. The receiving devices then reconstruct what’s happening on the first device’s screen and display it to the viewers. Video streaming can quickly eat up a lot of bandwidth, but many of the leading screen sharing software solutions will compress data to minimize network usage while monitoring current call activity for optimum quality.
