Condividere il proprio desktop

You can let other people view and control your desktop from another computer with a desktop viewing application. Configure Screen Sharing to allow others to access your desktop and set the security preferences.

You must have the Vino package installed for Screen Sharing to be visible.

  1. Open the Activities overview and start typing Settings.

  2. Click on Settings.

  3. Click on Sharing in the sidebar to open the panel.

  4. If the Sharing switch at the top-right of the window is set to off, switch it to on.

    If the text below Computer Name allows you to edit it, you can change the name your computer displays on the network.

  5. Select Screen Sharing.

  6. To let others view your desktop, switch the Screen Sharing switch to on. This means that other people will be able to attempt to connect to your computer and view what’s on your screen.

  7. To let others interact with your desktop, ensure that Allow connections to control the screen is checked. This may allow the other person to move your mouse, run applications, and browse files on your computer, depending on the security settings which you are currently using.
