Reference11r1:Concept myPBX Application Sharing

In version 11 the myPBX launcher can add an application sharing codec to the innovaphone software and hardware phones.

Requirements

PBX

• Recent version 11 firmware
• myPBX license (enabled at the user object)
• Video license (enabled at the user object)

Note: Later there will be a dedicated license for application sharing. But at the moment the feature is activated using the video license.

Phone

• innovaphone hardware phone with recent version 11 firmware
• innovaphone software phone version 11

Computer

• myPBX launcher version 11
• Windows 7
• .NET 4

Configuration

If remote video is already working for the user, no additional configuration is needed.

Otherwise please refer to Reference11:Concept myPBX Video#Configuration.

Usage

If the launcher is connected to the selected phone, a monitor button shows up in the web application next to the video button at the selected phone.

Clicking the button during a phone call activates application sharing for that phone call. A window pops-up that shows the running applications. Select an application you want to share or the desktop.

Click the share button to start the transmission of the window content. On the remote side a window is opened that shows the shared application.

On the sender side it can now be seen which participants are receiving the shared application. Additionally there is a button to give control (mouse, keyboard) over the shared applications to an specific participant.

If the desktop is shared, no individual applications can be shared. If the desktop is not shared, applications can be shared and unshared unconditionally. On the remote side tabs are opened at the top of the window. The participant could also request control over the shared applications through the "Request Control" button at the top right corner of the window.

To deactivate the application sharing click the monitor button in myPBX again or disconnect the call.
