Why use remote screen sharing?
What benefits can screen sharing offer your company?
As the ability to online screen share simply and securely has advanced, more and more people favor working from the comfort of their own homes.
In the past, collaboration while remote working meant endless emails and confusion; now employees can easily join a screen share meeting from any location.
Screen sharing also allows team members to experiment and test ideas together in real time, fostering deeper project understanding and seamless teamwork. With RealVNC’s consistent uptimes and high-speed streaming, employees can interact as if they were in the same room, even when miles apart, enhancing creativity and problem-solving.
Issues with software or technology can be particularly difficult to explain over chat or email. With screen sharing, support agents can see exactly what’s going on, enabling rapid issue diagnosis and increased first-call resolution.
Screen share apps allow technicians to accelerate issue resolution by taking control of devices while simultaneously sharing step-by-step instructions to help user comprehension. RealVNC’s multi-platform remote access solution allows technicians to easily access devices ranging from iPads to Raspberry Pi computers.
Businesses can also use online screen sharing to offer employees remote access education sessions. This is particularly useful for new software, as an expert can share their screen online to directly demonstrate specific features and techniques to all employees at the same time.
Together, online screen sharing and session recording allow employees to take advantage of educational opportunities that might otherwise have been inaccessible, strengthening their skills and, therefore, your business as well.
Online screen sharing for businesses of all sizes
The benefits of screen sharing can help businesses of all shapes and sizes.
Startups
Although they may have a great idea, Startups can struggle with limited budgets. Screen share tools remove the costs related to needing a physical, on-prem office, without sacrificing collaboration or a team mentality. An easy-to-use platform with a flexible pricing model will help keep costs down while your company grows. Contact RealVNC’s sales team to ask about custom pricing.
Small businesses
As businesses grow, so does their workforce. Remote access and screen sharing allow you to recruit the best talent from anywhere in the world. Employers that offer remote or hybrid working are also more appealing to candidates than companies that are clinging to in-person working models. With a group policy from RealVNC, you can enjoy mass deployment and unlimited device access for all your employees.
Enterprise teams
Even the largest enterprises can benefit from screen sharing. A quick screen share session can keep both large teams and different departments organized and on the same page. For companies with multiple, global locations, the ability to screen share online slashes travel costs and allows seamless collaboration across continents and time zones. No matter how big your enterprise, RealVNC’s granular access controls ensure that everyone has the correct level of access for safe, secure screen sharing.
Screen share FAQs
What is screen sharing?
Screen sharing, also called desktop sharing, lets you share what’s on your screen with other devices. This can involve sharing your entire screen, or just one window, with single or multiple viewers. While some screen sharing solutions only offer viewing, RealVNC Connect® includes remote access and control to expand the usefulness and benefits of screen sharing sessions.
How does screen sharing work?
The online screen sharing process involves the content on your screen undergoing segmentation into encoded packets. These are then transmitted swiftly across the internet to the designated viewing device. RealVNC transmits screen pixel data between computers using the RFB protocol. This is also used to send control events in the opposite direction for remote device control.
The most up-to-date solutions for screen sharing online now compress the transmitted data, which optimizes bandwidth usage and provides an efficient and seamless performance.
What devices can screen share?
Screen share apps are very versatile. RealVNC Connect supports a wide range of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, iOS, and even Raspberry Pi. Whether you’re on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you can share your screen seamlessly.
Is screen sharing safe?
At RealVNC, screen sharing security is our top priority. We do not record your sessions, and your data remains encrypted and secure both now and in the future.
Every connection is treated as if it’s made in a hostile environment, ensuring robust protection against potential threats. Plus, the owner of the remote computer has full control, deciding who can connect and ensuring complete access management.
Can you record a shared screen?
Absolutely! RealVNC Connect makes screen recording a breeze.
Choose where the files will be saved by going to VNC Viewer and clicking on File > Preferences. Under “Recording,” you can change the default file-saving location.
Then, simply start recording by clicking the red Record button on the toolbar after connecting.
