Desktop sharing/capture

Post by jaoudestudios »

Is there a way in php to do desktop sharing? (obviously with the help of javascript too)

i.e. grab the desktop view and send it to another user and display the remote desktop in the browser?

Simple and straight forward answer :(

I am not sure if it is something I definitely want to do, but how would I go about it? What technologies would I need?

Write something complex using something like C I imagine. Not easy

In windows you can use remote desktop. In linux->windows you can use cygwin. Linux has a variant of remote desktop as well.
