Application sharing enables a presenter to share individual applications or the entire desktop with participants. Participants will view the application as if it were running on their own desktop.
To start application sharing
- Click Sharing
on the toolbar.
- Perform one of the following steps in the Application Sharing window:
- To share your entire desktop, click Share the entire screen.
- To share specific applications, click Choose the applications to share, and then select the check box of each application that you want to share.
- Optional: To optimize performance during application sharing, you can adjust the image quality. Look for the different settings in the Optimization Options menu. Here are some things to consider:
- Auto (Recommended) is recommended. Auto adjusts the setting from low to high depending upon bandwidth responsiveness.
- For very slow connections, such as dial-up, consider Best Speed. This setting provides the fastest transfer speed, but with a reduction in image quality.
- If you have high bandwidth, consider High Quality. This setting provides true color and an optimal appearance but requires the most bandwidth. For slower connections, this setting might slow down application sharing.
- Click Start Sharing to begin.
