Desktop screen sharing software designed to enable easy collaboration and communication. Allows multiple individuals to view, edit and share screens simultaneously, improving productivity and enhancing teamwork.
It is essential to note that this software does not store audio and is not video-conferencing software. It is aimed at reducing the boredom associated with telephone conferences where your mind can quickly wander since there are no visual clues to indicate meeting progress. It is also a more cost-effective way to conduct meetings as video conferences can be expensive, low resolution, limited to 1:1, and inconvenient to receive a copy of the meeting. Products such as iChat and Skype are excellent, but they are prone to dropouts and are limited to 5 audio or 3 video links on a fast broadband line, restricting the number of users.
If a manager wants a meeting with 15-20 remote people, it's just not possible, but with ScreenHaven, it is. The software stores high-resolution screen images, tested to 1900x1200 pixels, after defined intervals, which can be conveniently retrieved as a text file and either a movie or folder of JPEGs for the screens. While there is usually one publisher and multiple subscribers, subscribers can view multiple screens at once or be both a publisher and subscriber simultaneously. In this way, everyone can contribute via the comments window, even if one person is talking, providing a more effective and inclusive experience.
Users can fullscreen the publisher screen to view screens without comments, and the software is cross-platform, enabling any subscribing Macintosh, Windows, or Linux computer to view screens from any publishing Macintosh, Windows, or Linux computer. ScreenHaven is ideal for organizations that regularly conduct group telephone conferences but want to make them more effective, saving not only lost time but also money for airfares and petrol. It makes remote meetings more intuitive and provides visual cues that enable everyone to keep up with meeting progress.
Finally, if someone misses the conference, they can download the screens and comments after the meeting as long as the publisher has not cleared them. To access the software, choose the ScreenHaven popup from under the Window menu and choose either Publish or Subscribe. Overall, ScreenHaven is an exceptional tool that simplifies remote meetings, increases efficiency, and saves money.
