60 Chapter 9: Using the Screen Sharing Pod
Presenter system requirements
Screen-sharing broadcast (including application sharing) by a presenter requires:
• The Windows platform
• The Presenter Add-In for Breeze, a special version of Macromedia Flash Player that includes
file upload, application sharing, and screen-sharing broadcast capabilities
The Presenter Add-In for Breeze is automatically downloaded and run the first time you try to
share your screen (or control a shared screen) if your system is missing the required Presenter Add-
In for Breeze.
Participant system requirements
Application sharing or screen-sharing playback by a participant requires:
• Windows or Macintosh operating system
• Flash Player 6 (version 6.0.79.0 or later)
When a participant attempts to view a screen-share broadcast, the Flash Player version is
automatically detected and the participant is prompted to get the latest version of Flash Player
if
necessary.
