However, I’ve been having some problems with the software. It keeps freezing and losing connection to my computer. I’ve had to restart it a few times and it’s been really frustrating. Can you help me out? Can you tell me how to fix this problem?
My father recently bought a Mac and since he was a PC user all his life, he needed my help learning OS X. Since we live in two different cities, the best way to do this was for him to share his screen, let me take control and then show him how to navigate the OS.
Some of my favorite screen sharing software over the last few years have been:
- Zoom. This software is great for when you need to share a large screen with someone else. You can also use it to make presentations or recordings.
- Skype. This software is great for when you need to video call someone else. You can also use it to make presentations or recordings. ..
ScreenLeap
ScreenLeap is a new service that allows you to share your screen with others for free. Their main selling point is one-click sharing, which works well if you have Java enabled. It takes about 20 seconds to load and then you’re good to go. You get a code, give that code to someone else who can view your screen from a desktop, tablet or even smartphone. That’s pretty neat and convenient since a lot of people use their tablets and phones more than their computers. ..
ScreenLeap is a screen sharing app that has some drawbacks. First, it’s not available on many platforms, including Macs. Second, the free service only allows for two hours of screen sharing per day. Third, the paid plans offer more flexibility. ..
Join.me
join.me is a great site for online meetings that lets you have up to 10 participants at the same time, supports chat and file transfer, and has an iPad, iPhone or Android device compatibility.
FreeScreenSharing
FreeScreenSharing.com is a great site for conducting unlimited online meetings. They don’t have any paid plans, and they seem to want to keep it that way which is great for users. You do have to create an account to get started, but it only requires a name and email address. The interface is clean and organized in an intuitive manner. ..
This website has a lot of features for larger meetings where you want to share your screen with multiple participants. However, the number of features is a bit overkill for one-time usage.
Skype
Skype is a popular program that millions of people already have installed on their computer. You can easily share your screen with another Skype user and it’s ultra-convenient since Skype is a safe and trusted program. ..
Skype is a great way to communicate with friends and family, but it can be limiting because you can only share your screen with someone for free over a voice call. If you want to share your screen on a video call, you’ll need to upgrade to Skype Premium. ..
Quick Screen Share
Quick Screen Share is a simple, free screencast software that you can use to share your videos with your friends and family. It’s easy to use and doesn’t require any account or software download. The downside is that it uses Java to accomplish this, which could potentially be a problem on some computers.
Quick Screen Share is a great solution for anyone who wants to quickly share their screen. You can remotely control the mouse and keyboard and that’s about it. There are no bells and whistles using this program. Also, since it creates a direct peer-to-peer connection, it may not work through corporate networks, schools, or other highly secure networks.
Depending on your needs, you can pick and choose which service/program is best for you. Some are better geared towards actual online presentations and others are just straightforward screen sharing apps. If you know of one that I missed or one you think is better, post a comment! Enjoy!
