Share your screen and give control
Sharing happens in a project's voice room and shows a single window: the program you pick. The rest of your screen is not shared. If you like, you can give someone watching your pointer, or your mouse and keyboard, for a while.
The project needs at least one voice room
Join a room
Click a voice room in the project's column.
Pick the window
Press Share your screen on the room's page or Share screen in the strip at the bottom. In Share a window, pick the program under Open windows. The whole screen and Devchaos itself are not on the list.
Choose the picture
Under Video, choose Smooth · 60 fps for scenes and games or Sharp · 30 fps for code and interfaces. If the project has more than one room, choose Which room as well, then press Share.
Stop
While you share, a strip stays at the top of your screen; Stop ends the share.
Watching
When a teammate starts sharing, a card like Deniz is sharing appears in the corner; open it with Watch. If you are in the room, press Watch up close. Even if another window comes in front of the program, the people watching keep seeing the program, along with its menus and pop-ups.
Giving control
The viewer presses Request control and you are asked. With Pointer only, they can point on your screen but can't click anything. With Mouse and keyboard, they use the program as you would, only inside that window. Choose how long (10 min, 30 min or Until I take it back) and press Allow.
Your own mouse always comes first: when you move it, the other side waits. Ctrl Alt Esc takes control back at once, from anywhere. Keys like Alt Tab and Alt F4 are never sent to your computer.
Something went wrong?
There is no share button in a call.
Sharing happens only in a project's voice room; one-to-one and group calls don't have it. If the project has no room, the founder or a lead with the Channels and rooms permission has to create one first.
The program I want to share isn't on the list.
Open the program first; the list refreshes every few seconds. Minimized windows are listed too and open when you share them.
The picture comes through very slowly.
Click the connection indicator at the top of the sharing page and look at Connection details. An open remote desktop session (like AnyDesk) slows down screen capture; close it and try again.
