Screen sharing

Like screen recording, screen sharing is a feature that allows users to stream their computer's display to others in real-time. When screen sharing, users often can specify whether the entire display is shared, or only a specified window or application. Screen sharing can provide interactive software training, collaborate on projects, or receive personalized online support.

Many free options for screen sharing are available to users. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, like Discord, Skype, and Google Hangouts, include built-in screen sharing features to instantly display the screen in your group or individual video call. Programs like TeamViewer can also be installed to allow others to remotely control your mouse and keyboard.
