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
