Desktop - Application Sharing

« Video Conferencing | Main | Remote Control »

Centra eMeeting allows for application and desktop sharing. To activate application sharing within Centra you need to access the toolbar and select the application sharing button.

Once you have done so Centra provides you with a dialog box from which you can select which application(s), among the ones already opened on your PC, you want to share with your online participants.

Centra eMeeting allows the presenter to easily set the session in full screen mode if desired. This feature can be set independently for the presenter machine ("Use Full Screen") and for the participants PCs ("Use Full Screen For Others").

If you select "Application Host View", the main presentation area will disappear from your interface, while the participants list and the Agenda area will remain. The interface will switch to a vertical long panel and it will move to the right side of your screen.

Shared applications open in the participants' main interface window. All participants that have "microphone control" can interact with the application and edit documents.

When you choose "View Options…" you can specify how participants shall be sorted and displayed in the participant list.

Participants can check the option "Refuse layout changes from the presenter" if they prefer not to be affected by the presenters view changes.

On the eMeeting product page (http://www.centra.com/products/emeeting/info.asp) Centra claims that mark-up tools are available during application sharing "to emphasize a point right on the live application". However I have not been able to detect or utilize those tools, when I shared an application. It appears that this feature will be available in the next release of Centra eMeeting.
