Application Sharing

---

Application sharing is the capability of presenters and attendees to share their desktops during a session. This capability is useful for both presenters and attendees. Application sharing can be used in the following situations:

To let attendees familiarize themselves with a product without having to install the product software on their computers.
Presenters can demonstrate a particular feature and have the attendees walk through the process on the spot.
Presenters can help attendees during a session.
Attendees can use application sharing to illustrate their understanding of presented material.

To use application sharing

Have the attendee, choose Presentation > Request Application Sharing.

The Request Application Sharing dialog box appears on the presenter's desktop. The presenter has two options:

The attendee can now control the presenter's screen. The attendee's pointer and the presenter's Capture Frame both turn blue when in application sharing mode.
The attendee is notified that the request is denied.

To terminate application sharing

Choose Presentation > Disallow Application Sharing.

NOTE:  For Group and Multi-level sessions, the presenter can actively grant application sharing to a user by drilling down on the user's name in the User List dialog box, and by clicking the Grant Application Sharing button. Similarly, the presenter can disallow application sharing by selecting the Disallow Application Sharing button.
