I love the simplicity of this product and wanted to use it for remote support with users who are working with restricted rights so they cannot download a remote support tool and install it.
Unfortunately, the screen sharing is so slow that I only get screen updates every 10-20 seconds or (might be the trigger), when a certain (high) percentage of the screen’s content changes.

Am I right here, that the screen has to change quite a lot for a new picture to be transmitted or is it just a very slow connection for european users?

I imagen this software on a conference where the presenter is showing slideshow or wherever, a lot of people take pics of the screen to remember what he is telling, with this tool, he can share with the audience his screen so anybody can take pics directly from their smartphone and I guess will look better.

Can I share my iPhone or iPad screen or just the pc/mac screens?

Any luck with getting to run on Android? It appears to require java.

In reply to Andreas. Hi Andreas, thanks for the feedback. Yes, Skype has a screen sharing product, but you can only share your screen with one person, so I can't be used for meetings with multiple people in different locations. Also, not everyone has Skype and if you're in a hurry, the other person may not want to have to install Skype. With Screenleap, you can share your screen with as many people as you like at the same time. We've had reports of users sharing their screen with over 100+ people at the same time. Also, there's nothing for viewers to install, and there's no app required on smartphones or tablets. Finally, yes, Screenleap does not yet have voice, but most people already have access to voice products and/or cell phones, so they Screenleap can be used in conjunction with those voice products. We do plan to offer a voice product in the future. Thanks again for your feedback!

I have screensharing via Skype already. It works pretty well. All of my friends have Skype. If not, I just tell them to download it which they usually do right on the spot.

I don’t quite see why I would want a system that does ONLY screen sharing? When I share the screen with someone, I would usually also like to TALK about it with the other party.

So in a way, this competes against Skype, which offers an extra nice feature that goes with screen sharing… voice.

Nice idea though. I can see some usage cases where people don’t necessarily have Skype (in corporate settings where it may be banned, devices that don’t support it..)

One more thing: Could it be done without Java? I have banned Java from my computer, so I actually cannot use it (unless I agreed to reinstall on my computer Java which I don’t want to do)
