FYI, AEROADMIN is free for commercial use.
Hope this helps.

The problem it seems, wouldn't be best addressed by a software solution but perhaps a different workflow altogether. What is the goal here other than to share a display with "real-time" properties? To me, it seems easier to make the software running the live data be accessible per user vs publicly sharing a single monitor with 40 people. If you can generate the image on one screen you can feed that image to 4 million just as easy. Shit, broadcast it on a private company based youtube channel and stream it for free. I see the question is two years old but yeah....LogMeIn Rescue is a great team based remote software app that allows you to transfer sessions and create scripts etc. Im not affiliated with them - I used their software in a company I worked for recently. But good luck either way.

I'm having trouble finding a solution for my specific needs.

I work in a callcenter and we have real-time displays (flat screens) in limited areas of our floor. Some people are not able to see the screens from their desk.

I want to be able to share the desktop of the machine that is displaying the info on the flat screens. This is an unattended machine that I can remotely control with GoToMyPC.

I want people to view the screen by accessing a URL, not by joining a meeting.

My callcenter has about 70 agents and I would expect a max of 40 users accessing the screen share concurrently at any given time.

ScreenLeap seems to come closest to what I need but it is not free.

I previously used ScreenStream but it is not supported in Windows 7 (only Vista and earlier).

Anyone know of a solution out there?

thanks!

Thank you for the above list. Another option is deploying on premise RHUB or Bomgar remote support appliances in order to remotely access computers.

I use NoMachine http://www.nomachine.com . They just released for Windows and Mac and it lets you share your desktop, file-sharing, multi-media support, printing and other things to. It's free.

Andrew, can participants watch FMV. I've tried several screenshare applications and the video on the participant's end is not full motion.

Too bad none of these are really free -- you need to change the name of the article.

Teamviewer is free for remote-desktop, but not free for desktop-sharing - presentations are limited to 5 minutes with a free account. After five minutes the connection timeouts with a popup about free accounts, and then the guest has to reconnect.

Thanks. TeamViewer seems to be the best desktop screen sharing tool among them. It is so simple to use :)

I use a free Skype add-on - http://scand.com/products/s... - and I'm happy with it. SkyRemote supports multiple Skype instances, detects other contacts on your list with the same add-on installed, allows session recording, sharing remote desktop with several contacts at a time.

@Susan, you can continue using the same set of web conferencing features with Banckle Online Meeting http://banckle.com/apps/onl... that were supported by DimDim. And if you had a DimDim Pro subscription then Banckle allows you to freely migrate your data to Banckle Online Meeting. It is a Free for 12 months so I suggest you to evaluate it and let me know if it works for you.

@Asad, I want to suggest Banckle Online Meeting http://banckle.com/apps/onl... which is a browser-based application for web and video conferencing that allows you to share your full screen or an application, PowerPoint presentations or whiteboards with your clients and colleagues from around the globe. The free version allows you to invite 20 attendees per meeting and you can evaluate the fully-featured Free version for as long as 12-months.

Update: DimDim has been sold and all free accounts are being eliminated on March 31,2011.
You may want to use one of the other choices. I think Team Viewer Rocks, but am planning on trying some of the others shortly.

Thanks for the Yuuguu mention - very kind!

I wanted to say that we designed Yuuguu ground-up as a collaboration tool. It gets used for all sorts of stuff like web conferencing, sales calls, demos and what have you where it works very well. But it really is best at the remote teamwork application you talk of.

We started with the idea of 'what do you do when you are in an office?'. We realised that the value of being in an office is that you can look up from your desk and see who is in, who is busy, and who looks free to help. So we added presence indicators to yuuguu - green and red lights by the side of everyone's name which say 'available/busy/do not disturb'.

You would then next perhaps shout or walk over to a colleague you thought you could work with. So, on yuuguu, we added instant message chat. You can send a quick 'got a sec?' kind of message by clicking your colleague's name, typing the message in the drop down box and hitting enter.

You would then give them some context about why you wanted their advice. In the office, you walk over to your desk and start pointing at work on your computer screen. This is where the screen sharing and remote control features came in. We made sure that you could show your screen to up to 30 people, so you can do group-work with yuuguu. We later added 'web share' which is where people can view your screen share with just a web browser, without downloading the yuuguu app itself.

Of course you need to talk whilst you're doing this, so we added low-cost, no-set-up voice conferencing using real telephones. We later added Skype integration, as a lot o people were wanting to work that way.

About the way in which you share your screen and the other person can accept/decline, we made it that way as a privacy control. Nobody can just 'log in' to your computer and see what you are doing unless you explicitly allow them to, and are fully aware of it. We saw that as much more appropriate to professional teamwork. That said, we've been asked to change it a few times, so currently we support a button 'Please show me your screen' which turns things round a bit. We might well make a more remote login style thing in the future.

Thanks for the good review!
Al from Yuuguu

Another application to consider: Screenconnect. Our company switched from Bomgar to ScreenConnect, which is far less expensive and easy to set up and operate!

Our organization preferred to use an application that would allow users to simply go to our website and click a button. We went with RHUB Web Conferencing because our clients don't have to download anything to participate.
