Do you need to show to your distant teammates a set of images or a PowerPoint presentation right from your computer desktop? Do you want to train your classroom at a distance by inviting your students to watch what you are doing live on your PC?

Screen sharing tools are a specific category of online collaboration tools that enable you to broadcast a continuous live stream of what is happening on your computer screen to individuals connected via the Internet at distant locations.
Screen sharing tools allow multiple attendees to see in real-time whatever you will be showing on your computer screen, as well as the opportunity to even take control of your mouse and keyboard to show their newly learned abilities while operating a new application residing on your machine. Obviously you can do the same with them and, with their permission, access their computer remotely and guide their learning process or troubleshooting session step by step.
Screen sharing tools generally work by allowing you, as the presenter, to create a session which is associated to a specific URL and optionally to a password number. You then send / share this URL / password combination to your selected invitees, and as soon as they log into your screen-sharing session they can start seeing in real-time what you are doing.
Feature differentiation areas among screen-sharing providers include the addition of VoIP, text chat, remote control, cross-platform support, annotation and markup and recording abilities.
Here below is a comprehensive list of all the available screen-sharing tools out there and the set of key basic characteristics that I have utilized to compare these tools among themselves:
- Max Participants Number: The number of attendees you can invite into a screen-sharing session
- Remote Control: Gives screen-sharing session attendees the ability to take control of your keyboard and mouse
- Change Presenter: Lets the current presenter hand out presentation controls to other attendees
- Host Platform: PC-Mac-Linux: if you want to be a presenter which one can you use?
- Viewer Platform: PC-Mac-Linux – what do you need to have to participate?
- Price: Monthly price of the product
To make your analysis and selection task most effective here below is also a comparison table showcasing all of the available screen-sharing tools and a full set of mini-reviews introducing each one of them.

6th Sense Technology
The one thing that I love about technology is the speed of its growth and infinitely limitless potential. It is often the closet genius that bring us the tools that we use everyday that make our lives so much easier.
In this TED Conference piece Pranav Mistry uses colored marker caps, a cell phone and a mini projector to layer digital internet onto the real world. I cannot say enough about this technology or how IT WILL be the next wave of computing technology.
LiquidSalesman Approved.
Pranav Mistry and his 6th Sense
“Rather than waiting for that time to come, I want people to make their own system. Why not?,” Mistry says in an article on Rediff Business. “People will be able to make their own hardware. I will give them instructions how to make it. And also provide them key software…give them basic key software layers…they will be able to build their own applications. They will be able to modify base level and do anything”. Pranav Mistry
