This feature is available in the SetMe Solo edition and higher.

With Screen sharing, you can show your screen or delegate control to one or more remote users. 

The following Screen sharing modes are available: 

  • Share screen – Remote users can only view your screen. 
  • Share control – Remote users can view your screen and take control of the mouse and keyboard. In this mode, text and files can be transferred via clipboard or drag‑and‑drop. Remote users can also perform administrative tasks on your computer, including responding to UAC prompts. 

Screen sharing also allows remote users to record video or take screenshots of your screen. 

To share your screen with multiple remote users at the same time, start a Screen sharing session with the first user, then add others to the same session. 

In Expert console > Settings > Share screen, you can configure view options and set permissions for text and file transfers via clipboard or drag‑and‑drop.
