Ask HN: Browser-based remote screensharing tool?
4 points by perssontm on Oct 3, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
I'm pretty sure I read a post about a browserbased remote support tool a while ago, but cant find it.

Basically, I want a link to send to the recipient and their screen should be shared so I can help them out. If no software is needed from the support person its even better.




Chrome has a Remote Desktop (beta) extension. All you need to do is point them to this link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desk... and have them give you a few numbers to connect. It works with Linux, Windows and Mac.


UltraVNC has a preconfigured, single-file client creation tool at http://www.uvnc.com/products/uvnc-sc.html.


Thank you. I'd lost track of this tool.


You can try Adobe Connect - there is a trial version available, runs over Flash.


Probably screenleap.
