Hi there,

I am working on project in which I have to share two users desktop and they can see what the other user is doing and stuff like that. Is anyone know that how can I achieve this by using FMS or any other technique.

Thanks in advance.

    FMS doesn't do screensharing like breeze does (seems the adobe folks are keeping the best goodies to themselves). More accurately, the Flashplayer doesn't support it without the Breeze addin, and the distributed version of FMS seems to reject connections made by the breeze addin (I've tried)

    The only way to make it happen is to use a screen capture driver that the Flashplayer recognizes as a camera ( http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=4 seems to work). It's a sloppy, ugly hack that requires third party software, but if you're in a pinch, it will work.

    Keep in mind that this wouldn't be true screen sharing, but rather screen broadcasting. Users will not be able to control each other's desktops.
