Concept

A user (viewer) sends a request to another user (sharer) to have access to the sharer's PC.
The sharer accepts the session and start sharing its desktop content with the viewer.
The viewer also gets automatically control over mouse and keyboard.

Features

Several functionalities are provided:

• Multiple monitors support: Viewer can switch between desktops by clicking on the monitor icons.
• Direction of control: Switch direction of the sharing, a viewer would become a sharer.
• Screen scaling: Two different views of the remote desktop, original or adjusted size.
• Notifications: At the remote PC if the sharer does not have Remote Control opened or is busy with another session.
• Multiple users : many viewers for a sharer.
• Copy & Paste support

Technical data

• the maximum bitrate is 1.2Mbits for the users who is sending its desktop UI. The viewer just sends mouse and keyboards events
