Sharing Your Desktop

Once you've joined a conference, click the Click here to share your desktop link in the lobby screen to begin sharing your desktop. A message, "Preparing to share your desktop," appears briefly, and then the See&Share toolbar and a blue border appear on your screen.

NOTE: If you join a conference in which someone else is already sharing their desktop, you see their desktop right away rather than seeing the lobby screen. If you want to share your desktop, you can ask to take over sharing.

The blue border indicates that See&Share software is sharing your desktop. Anyone in the conference will be able to see your desktop just as if they were sitting in front of your computer in person.

NOTE: When you create a private text messaging conversation with a participant, the conversation isn't visible to other participants on the shared desktop.

You can use the drag handle on the See&Share software toolbar to drag the toolbar anywhere around the border of your desktop.

Most of the time, only the presenter can move the toolbar. The participants' toolbars mirror the position of the presenter's toolbar. For example, if the presenter moves the toolbar to the lower-right corner of the desktop, all the participants' toolbars move to the lower right as well. Participants can move their toolbars only if they've turned off the Fit presenter's desktop to window option.

Once you're sharing your desktop, you can:

Change sharing options for the conference

Use drawing tools or screen pointers to highlight information on screen

View the list of participants

Change the shared area of your desktop

Allow remote control

Monitor the conference's performance

Changing Conferencing Settings
