I used OpenBroadcaster for all my capturing,

Not sure how you would go with screen sharing via twitch or youtube for what you are looking at doing. Very powerful software allowing you to construct multiple scenes with overlays and combine different application screens etc. I'm using it currently to (on windows at work) to capture UI uage information on some software we are developing which involves 3 applications in 1 scene, main app window, nohboard onscreen keyboard and task manager

I use it on linux at home to capture program footage (games, application feature examples etc)

Hi there,

I wonder which cross-platform software or services you are using for remote screen sharing sessions, if any?

Commercial vendors with proprietary software make it (more or less) easy for Windows and Mac users to share their screens remotely, fool-proof even for non-tech-savvies (e.g. Skype, WebEx, GoToMeeting, zoom.us or browser-based such as Google Hangouts, etc.). A typical situation would be: I use Debian 8 and I want to share my screen with a client or partner running Windows or Mac to demonstrate something.

My experience so far: Skype works well under Debian, but I always have issues with the screen sharing feature. I have used TeamViewer from time to time (works very well). WebEx, GoToMeeting, zoom.us and most of the other services don't support Linux. Remote Desktop (RDP) predominantly aims to remote administration. Browser-based solutions I have not tested yet.

I would prefer open source solutions of course (even paid). Must haves: very easy to use for the "other side" and cross-platform capability (Linux, Windows, Mac). Optional: audio (voice) support would be nice but could also be achieved via VoIP/Skype/phone via an extra channel. One-to-many (someone shares his/her screen to multiple receivers) would be also nice, but an exception.

Does anyone have any experience, suggestions, advices in this regards?


Thanks
Michael
