"Online -> Screen transfer -> As host". This will require an online connection.
Since you are taking the initiative as a host, an 8-digit number (session ID) will
be displayed; this is required for any PC screenshare connection.
The host/guest either owns the same application as you, or quickly downloads
the free guest module with just a mouse click. As soon as the number you
passed on to them via email, phone, or chat is entered into the guest
application's module, your guest will be able to see your desktop on his
screen. You can now open any application on your PC and your guest will see
the same screen content as you via the online connection.
Tip: In order for guests to know what is currently being shown, it makes sense
to talk to them on the phone or via a chat tool while holding the demonstration.
Register as host for a screen transfer
1. If you want to start a screenshare instance yourself, then you have to
register as a host first. To do this, open the menu "Online" and then select
"Screen transfer as host...".
2. In the dialog you can enter a name for the screen session. Your user
account name is used here by default.
3. Now click on "Start session". A small window will now open in the bottom
right corner which displays the status of your screen session. A number will
also be displayed (session ID) which serves as a password for your guests.
4. Start the screenshare instance.
