Net Meeting Allow Control

[Guest GregNga]

I tried using Net Meeting at work to view another users desktop. When I click

'allow control', it still does not permit them to control my desk top, they

get a circle wth a black line through it when the cursor movers over 'my desk

top' on their PC. The saem happens in reverse when they click 'allow

control', I can only view their desktop.

 

Am I forgetting to do something

In the Share window, you click "Allow Control". They request control

(an option at the top of the window with your desktop display), you

accept in the prompt that pops up, and they have control. They can then

click View, Full Screen and see nothing but your desktop on their screen.

 

If they maximize your window before requesting control, they won't see

the area where they request control.
