With the solutions above, each party needs to have software installed to either host or connect to a desktop. It is possible to broadcast a desktop and host it on a webpage for public access over the internet requiring only internet browser software to view the shared desktop. The viewer will have no control, but can view a presentation. This option can also be coupled with instant messaging or audio conferencing for feedback, comments or questions. Using ScreenSteam (http://www.nchsoftware.com/screen/), as free solution from NCH Software, hosts can stream the contents of their desktop over the internet. This solution also streams audio from the hosting PC and with the connection of a webcam the presenter can also be viewed from a video stream within the same browser window. |
