Likewise, if you have been invited to view someone else’s desktop you are the “Viewer”.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7JoCaoPHoI/AAAAAAAAAKU/ShVxnJvORHs/s1600/share-screen.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 160px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7JoCaoPHoI/AAAAAAAAAKU/ShVxnJvORHs/s320/share-screen.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454536489416203906" border="0" /></a>Setting up LogMeIn Express is very simple. Go to LogMeIn Express login page <a href="https://secure.logmein.com/US/products/express/Default.aspx">HERE</a> and click “Share”. You will be directed to download a small 901Kb file. LogMeIn will generate a 9 digit custom code, specific to this session, and you will get the following screen. In this example, the custom code is 865 199 210. You are prompted to enter your name.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7JoSVWRoII/AAAAAAAAAKc/JBX1Qcp1664/s1600/express-client.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 111px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7JoSVWRoII/AAAAAAAAAKc/JBX1Qcp1664/s320/express-client.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454536762876600450" border="0" /></a><br />Now you are ready to share. All viewers need is the 9 digit number. LogMeIn Express gives you the ability to “copy to clipboard” and “email the code” to a recipient.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7Jof7BtZJI/AAAAAAAAAKk/XdbT7wRIp5U/s1600/email-code.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 114px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7Jof7BtZJI/AAAAAAAAAKk/XdbT7wRIp5U/s320/email-code.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454536996329186450" border="0" /></a><br />Viewers will go to the same site above and click on viewer. The beautiful thing is that no software is required to be a viewer…it just opens up in the viewer’s browser. They are then prompted to enter their name.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7Jo7_XecVI/AAAAAAAAAKs/OsjsZgB2Ra4/s1600/view-screen.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 181px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7Jo7_XecVI/AAAAAAAAAKs/OsjsZgB2Ra4/s320/view-screen.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454537478530560338" border="0" /></a>As the presenter, you have the ability to “share remote control”…“send a file”…and “remove a user”:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7JpfdIygYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/4iKlPb2npmQ/s1600/share-remote-control.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 119px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7JpfdIygYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/4iKlPb2npmQ/s320/share-remote-control.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454538087817445762" border="0" /></a><br />LogMeIn Express also has a simple chat client that allows you to chat with all viewers or individual users.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7Jp17T3CSI/AAAAAAAAAK8/hd5JXAc8vKI/s1600/chat.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 168px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fkKcf91FI38/S7Jp17T3CSI/AAAAAAAAAK8/hd5JXAc8vKI/s320/chat.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454538473874065698" border="0" /></a><br />Overall, I give LogMeIn Express (Beta) 2 big thumbs up…for ease of use, speed, and security. It, by no means is a robust screen-share application. But it was not designed to compete in that marketplace.<br /><br />Another FREE screen-share application for collaboration with more bells-and-whistles worth mentioning is Vyew.<br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Written by:</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Christopher Moore</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">xDezyn Digital Solutions</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><a href="http://www.xdezyn.com/">www.xdezyn.com</a></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Twitter: xdezyn</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Feel free to repost this article…but please give credit where credit is due and keep my credentials at the bottom of the article.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Post provided by: xDezyn Digital Solutions, LLC Copyright 2010 For more articles, visit: www.xdezyn.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/766592578047924942-6800043346806487030?l=xdezyn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QFXwbU4Sl_qij1YFV4EJwxzeFiQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QFXwbU4Sl_qij1YFV4EJwxzeFiQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QFXwbU4Sl_qij1YFV4EJwxzeFiQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QFXwbU4Sl_qij1YFV4EJwxzeFiQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/xDezynBlogger/~4/eIklLRg95Cg" height="1" width="1"/>Christopher Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04539703895125466363noreply@blogger.com0http://xdezyn.blogspot.com/2010/03/logmein-express-beta-online.html
