Audio and Web Conferencing User Guide
• After everyone can see the shared application, the host can allow individuals or all
attendees to use the application by giving them remote access. The host can give one
or more attendees remote access by selecting their names in the attendee list and
clicking the remote control icon to the right of the attendee’s name. A mouse icon will
appear next to their names if they access the shared application remotely. Giving a
participant remote access allows them to simultaneously control the application
running on your desktop.
Application Sharing Settings
You can access Application Sharing settings through the Settings icon on the viewer frame.
In the following example, several applications are running so they appear in the list of
applications that can be shared. The attendees in the conference can see what is done
within an application on the desktop after the host selects the check box next to the
application. To stop Screen Sharing, click the Screen Sharing icon.
Click Settings to set properties (color settings,
scan rate, or other properties) and functions (Hide
Desktop Icons, Restore Acceleration, or other
functions).
• Pause: Stops sending information to
attendees. When selected, the image that is
broadcast via Screen Sharing becomes a
snapshot of that area at the time Pause is
clicked. Also, the Pause menu option
changes to Broadcast. Click Broadcast to
resume the dynamic update and broadcast
of the image.
• Color settings: Selects the number of
colors to use. The available choices are 256
color, High Color (16 bit) and True Color (24
bit). Higher color settings translate into a
better image on the attendee computers, but
it also uses more bandwidth.
• Scan Rate: Determines how frequently the
Screen Sharing window is checked to
determine if anything has changed. The
options are Low, Medium and High. The
higher the value, the more often the Screen
Sharing window is refreshed. High values
equate to greater smoothness of motion on
the screen, where as low values can equate to uneven motion.
NOTE
Giving more than one participant remote control at the same time may
cause problems if one person moves the mouse while another person
tries to type.
