Skype Screen Sharing - It works
I have a friend that lives about 250km's east of me and lives on I guess what you could call a farm, or large property. You could say he's a property manager, he works the land! He phoned me up and said he was having some trouble with both his computers and asked if I could help out. What a perfect opportunity to try the new Skype Screen Sharing feature! He signed in after downloading the latest version of Skype and away we went. He has a satellite connection at his property, so it's a little laggy at times, but the voice call seemed to be very clear all whilst using screen sharing. I was able to diagnose and solve both the problems he was having just by seeing his screen and talking him through the steps to solve each problem. I believe it uses adaptive technology to provide the best possible picture for the connection at hand. So it can occasionally look a little blurry or grainy. I should also mention you cannot gain control of the screen at all (at least I couldn't find an option) so you cannot assist, only view. Still pretty good. Now for a screen cap: [caption id="attachment_424" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="i can see u"]
