Let’s not forget about one of the most popular programs out there that millions of people already have installed on their computer: Skype. You can do a one on one sessions, but the number of features they have is a bit overkill for one-time usage. Overall, I enjoyed using their site for bigger meetings where I wanted to share my screen with multiple participants. What I like about this site is that they also have entire PDF guides to walk you through each feature of the website. The interface is clean and organized in an intuitive manner. You do have to create an account to get started, but it only requires a name and email address. They don’t have any paid plans and they seem to want to keep it that way, which is great for users. FreeScreenSharingį is another good site that let you conduct unlimited online meetings, each up to 6 hours long. The free version lets you have up to 10 participants that can view your screen at the same time, lets you pass control to another participant, includes multi-monitor support, supports chat and file transfer and lets people view your screen on an iPad, iPhone or Android device with their mobile apps. not only does instant screen sharing, it’s got a lot of features that make it great for online meetings. is a site created by the guys from LogMeIn, which is a very popular service for remote access to your computer.

That’s more than enough for me, but if you need more, they have paid plans too. The other downside with ScreenLeap is that the free service only supports 2 hours a day of screen sharing. This means you can’t share your screen unless you enable Java again, but it will also make your computer less secure. On Macs, for example, Apple has disabled Java because of security reasons. That’s pretty neat and convenient since a lot of people use their tablets and phones more than their computers.

You get a code, give that code to someone else who can view your screen from a desktop, a tablet or even a smartphone.

It takes about 20 seconds to load and then you’re good to go. Their whole selling point is one-click sharing, which works well if you have Java enabled. ScreenLeap is a newer service for sharing your screen for free.

Here’s a list of a couple of my favorite screen sharing software over the last few years: ScreenLeap
