Microsoft Sharedview

Written by Brian Duckett
SharedView Tab

Offering online support can be a tricky subject in terms of web based collaboration. Website support has many different delivery points. They can include a walk through of your completed website, access to a member only support forum and a wiki. Each of these serve a specific purpose and are administered differently.

For instance we administer a website walk through via remote desktop. This allows us to best capture a personable setting for the demonstration.

When conducting these demonstrations we collaborate via Microsoft SharedView. This free, lightweight tool serves this purpose well and only requires a Windows Live ID to begin the collaboration session.

To begin the setup process:

  1. Download the application and install it on your computer
  2. From your desktop use the "Start" or Windows icon to locate the application. Double click the Microsoft SharedView icon to open it
  3. Next: Sign in with your Windows Live ID
  4. Once signed in: Choose Start Session if you are the presenter and Join Session or the link in your invitation to enter an existing session

When presenting, you'll begin with the toolbar showing 1 participant.

Clicking the participant button will open a box of options to invite others, distribute handouts for the demonstration, or chat with the participants.

The share button opens a menu and provides the option to share any of the open applications on your computer. You can also choose to share the Desktop when sharing more than one application at a time. Allowing remote access to your computer and ending the collaboration session are the other options available in this menu.
