VNC: shadow

shadow allows for simplified VNC Screensharing between Thinlinc sessions and flips. 

  • Start "Shadow Screenshare" from the applications menu, a system tray icon will appear. (Bottom right on Thinlinc, top right on laptops & flips.)

  • Left click on the icon and choose either 'View' or 'Share with', a text box will appear where you can enter an ID. Real world examples:
    • Click 'View', enter crose to shadow a colleague with that username. They get a popup asking for permission.
    • Click 'Share', enter 'enured' to share your screen with a colleague with that username. They'll get a popup asking if they want to see your screen. If they accept, it'll again ask you if you actually want to share your screen with them.
    • Click 'Share', enter a room number like k11 or k30 to project your screen to a flip nuc. These are configured to accept shares by default, so you'll get a view request right back.
A list of all your recent actions is kept, so you don't have to type your colleagues name each time. Simply select an action from the tray icon's menu. To disconnect all connected clients, there's a button above the Quit menu in the tray icon's menu.
