Looks nice! I wish it gives support for Linux as well. Good screen sharing tools for Linux are virtually non-existent (and I am often ridiculed for it).

- crazysim 14y agoTeamviewer supports Linux but I'm interested to see if this does the sharing the screen and pointing thing better.
- MikeCodeAwesome 14y agoI kind of hate to say this but I'm glad there's at least one other person out there who has troubles with TeamViewer on Linux. My remote coworker uses Ubuntu with two screens and we're unable to make the mouse work on the correct screen consistently. That and the screen won't update properly.
- crazysim 14y agoHonestly I'm amazed it works at all. They run it in WINE.
- ebiester 14y agoIt has always worked pretty well for me but I only share one screen.
- eric_bullington 14y agoI've never had a problem with TeamViewer on Linux and I'm grateful that they made a Linux version.
- hippich 14y agoJust to be clear - their Linux version is really windows one running under wine.
- Argorak 14y agoI am constantly surprised by that. http://dozeo.com http://dozeo.com has screen export (we don't do screen sharing) support for Linux and its been the easiest implementation of all three. It is not official, as in "not our main business", but we do have CI for it and it should work in the future.
- rogerbinns 14y agoHave you tried Chrome Remote Desktop? https://chrome.google.com/remotedesktop https://chrome.google.com/remotedesktop It has two modes of operation. One is where you work with a different person - whoever shares their screen starts Chrome and it generates a random access number which the other party enters. The other mode is accessing your own machines which means there is no other party and chrome doesn't need to be running (the desktop is exported as a daemon/service). It works really well in both modes, and supports Linux (which I use), Mac (also have one of them) and Windows. The viewer and sharer can both interact. The viewer is a tab within Chrome which you can also make fullscreen. If you don't need to remotely interact then Skype works just fine and again has cross platform support.
- rogerbinns 14y agoOne clarification - CRD turns out not to support exporting a Linux machine that is your own (unattended). They do not have the daemon/service code for that. Sharing with other people works fine.
- beagle3 14y agoWhile I have no experience with screen sharing, letting other people on a skype conversation see your screen works quite well even with the old Skype 2 client on Linux. (Well, at least it used to - the last couple of weeks had Skype conference quality deteriorate horribly, on all of Linux, Windows and Mac.
- semiquaver 14y agoGoogle hangout's built-in screen sharing actually works perfectly for me. (Ubuntu 12.10)
