Eastern Standard uses the Join.Me service for screensharing. It allows for real time demos and debugging. Join.me is used as a screen-only sharing tool, it is not a full-packaged web-conferencing tool, and you may need to call the other parties to talk through the presentation.
INSTRUCTIONS TO VIEW ONLY:
- For users who don't need to present/share what they are exhibiting on their devices, you can sign into a screenshare session from any web-browser at https://join.me.
- In the Meeting / Room ID field, type in atEasternStandard
- Once the host starts the session, you may see a link enttiled "knock to join". If you do, click that to request permission to join the presentation.
- After you've been connected to the presentation, the browser should refresh and display the presenter's screen(s).
INSTRUCTIONS TO BE ABLE TO SHARE YOUR SCREEN & VIEW:
- Go to https://join.me
- Download the application and install on your local computer
- Once installed, open/start the application. A screenshot of the Mac version of the app is below:
- In the Join Meeting / Room ID field, type in for the code: atEasternStandard
- Once the host starts the session, you should see a link to "knock to join" the presentation
- After you've been accepted into the meeting, you'll see the presenter's screen
- The presenter may then "pass control to you to present"
- And you'll be prompted if it's ok to share your screen
- Click yes/ok, after which the others on the screenshare will see your entire screen/window.
