![]() Mikogo ran fairly well for me unless I had a Mac participant. I need to be able to transfer documents via secure file transfer or FTP and the software must be HIPAA compliant. I also need to be able to transfer control of the mouse and keyboard for remote signature. I never have more than one participant besides myself in the conference. Specifically, I conduct remote enrollment services and need the software to run on any platform (ie. Forward ahead to the 2:50 mark to watch him set the media-on-a-prim settings.I had been using Mikogo for several years now and most of the time it worked fine for my purposes. In the video below, Torley demonstrates how to use shared media. There are currently no recording options, and your viewers can’t interact with your screens at all.īut given the price and the incredible ease of use, this is a great, fast way to start sharing your desktop in-world. The service can support up to 50 to 100 simultaneous viewers, the company says. If you’re using this to share sensitive corporate information, I suggest upgrading to the $10 a month plan, which supports SSL encryption. I would hesitate to use it for, say, showing someone how to play a fast-paced video game. I can see using this for training or other situations where a slow pace is appropriate. The application running is Filemaker, where I store all my grid statistics. One thing I noticed is that it took a few seconds between the time I did something on my home monitor, and it was reflected on the in-world screen. The partial screen view puts a green box on my monitor, which I can resize to fit around the portion of the screen that I want to share. ![]() I switched between the full-screen view and the partial screen view. ![]() The screen at the top left shows my computer’s desktop. I set this up, and pasted the URL they gave me on a screen in my virtual office. The details steps for doing so are the same in OpenSim as in Second Life, and directions - and a how-to video - are here. To set up media-on-a-prim, select one face of an object, and paste the URL into the media settings window. To the best of my knowledge, the only major grid that doesn’t yet support this functionality is InWorldz. OSgrid, Kitely, and most other large grids are doing so. You also need to be running an up-to-date version of OpenSim. ![]() You need to be using a viewer that supports media-on-a-prim, which includes Firestorm and any other v2 or v3-compatible viewer. What you do is copy that link and use it to set up a media-on-a-prim screen anywhere on your OpenSim region. Next, it gives you a link to your sharing screen. The way it works is - once you tell it that you’re okay with running the plugin - you get a little pop-up window that asks you if you want to share the entire screen, or just a portion of it, and lets you pause or stop sharing. You don’t need to sign up a for a service, or turn over your email address. You just need to approve a Java plugin and you’re in business. It’s free, and takes just a second to set up. I mentioned yesterday in an article about Utherverse that those guys have application sharing for their virtual world platform, but that there’s nothing equivalent for Second Life and OpenSim, except through third-party services.īy coincidence, I was cleaning out my in-box yesterday, and found a link to just such a service: Screenleap.
