LogMeIn Express is the easiest way to share screens

February 7th, 2010 Pete Wood

This has to be one of the easiest ways of sharing your screen for remote access over the Internet.  Similar products require quite sizeable installations,  or result in a very slow user experience.  All you have to do here is download a very small application on the host (the screen you want to share) which is just 900K,  and then give the session code to the person you need to share with.  All they have to do is point their browser at the same URL,  and enter the same session code without having to download anything at all.

LogmeIn Express also lets you send files, and chat and also pause or resume the session.

The whole session is secured using 256bit SSL encryption so you don’t need to worry about unwelcome intruders.  It is permission based so the host user has to specifically grant access.

As if that wasn’t enough, it allows you to share your screen with up to 100 users.  It’s completely free for both commercial and non-commercial use.

Host requirements
    •   Windows 7, Vista, XP, Server 2003 & Server 2008 (all including 64-bit)
    •   Broadband connectivity to the Internet (i.e., T1, cable modem, ISDN, or DSL)
Viewer requirements
    •   Flash Player 9, 10
    •   Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 or Firefox 3 or Chrome 3 or Safari 4
    •   Broadband connectivity to the Internet (i.e., T1, cable modem, ISDN, or DSL)
