Record and broadcast your computer desktop instantly (and FREE)

 

One of the most popular ways to provide a demonstration on the web is through some sort of "screencast" or streaming video. 

 

Software programs range from $49 to over $1000 to provide those tools.

 

Low and behold, one of our customers send me a www.screentoaster.com video link to demonstrate a problem with his web site. 

 

I was amazed... ScreenToaster is FREE.

 

Any computer that supports Java can instantly record and publish videos of their desktop. (most browsers do support java)

 

Our support staff have been using Screen Toaster to help our customers.   Our customers have been using Screen Toaster to demonstrate their products.  We like it.

 

 

Check it out -- www.screentoaster.com -- I used Screen Toaster for the videos in this blog.  Check them out.

 

My favorite remote support tool - BEAMYOURSCREEN

 

Many of you have attended our remote Website Forge training classes

 

Our instructors get on the phone with several people and broadcast their desktop while demonstrating Website Forge.

 

We use www.beamyourscreen.com

 

BeamYourScreen works on PC's, Mac's and even Linux machines.  The best part is their rates are cost effective.

 

Here is a quick video showing how to setup a meeting.
