I would be interested in a comparing remote access performance for freeware VPN solutions if you know about this or if you use a remote access platform whose performance you like please let us know in the comments. Yuuguu’s performance was about the same). Performance is a is a little bit sluggish, which is typical for browser based remote access I think (e.g. What’s worth mentioning here is that Mikogo maintains a list of programs that you can check/uncheck to enable remote access. Remote access: allows you to asume control of the remote computer’s keyboard and mouse.Once the meeting is over, they can simply delete the executable and the config file that it creates (in the same directory in-which it is placed). They can also switch to broadcasting their screen or controlling another desktop without the need for any further download. This will instantly open a browser window with your own shared screen displayed in it. How others can view your screen: all your audience members need to do is go to the Mikogo website and click on “join meeting” which will download a small executable (approx 680K) that they can run and enter the meeting ID into.Once you have your meeting up and running, you can easily switch presenter to view another user’s screen rather than them seeing yours (subject to their acceptance, of course). ![]() You will be provided with a meeting ID (a kind of password) that others could use to view your screen. How to share your screen: once you launch your Mikogo account and log in, right click on the Mikogo icon in the system tray and select “Start meeting”. ![]() ![]() Moreover, all interaction happens through the browser and there are no firewalls or routers to configure, no IP addresses to investigate and ports to open or close. What’s really cool is that if screen sharing/broadcasting is all you need you audience on the other side would not need to create accounts or install software (they do, however, need to download and run a single no-install executable). Once you download and install this program, you will have to create an account and log in. This being the business world, we used an expensive proprietary software, but I nonetheless started researching easy ways this could be done for free and found and tested Mikogo. A conference call was arranged for the audio part, but what was needed was a platform whereby I could share my screen with multiple PCs on the other side of the continent. I work in a company here in Seattle that’s been merged with another one on the east coast, and a few days ago I had to give a presentation “virtually” to a group of my colleagues back east. Mikogo will allow you to do all of the above. Say you want to demonstrate to your friend in another town how you perform a certain trick with Photoshop, or say you want to send your mother in a different time zone a really good freeware antispyware program and install for her on the spot. It allows you to create virtual meetings/webinars where any of the participant’s screens can be shared, to define which applications can or cannot be accessed remotely, and to instantly share files with participants, all without the need to configure firewalls, ports, and routers etc. ![]() Mikogo is a free, browser-based screen sharing and remote computer access platform for Windows.
