Alternative to Skype Share Screen

Hey guys,

So I just found out that you can't share screen with Skype unless you upgrade it to premium skype.

That being said, is there any other chat tool I can use so I can share my screen? Really important for my workers...

Does Google hangout do that? Thanks.

    I just did a quick search on Google and found this Quick Screen Share Hopefully it turns out to be good!

      I share my screen on skype all the time without paying anything. Don't know if they have some new update but you can use:

      http://logmein.com
      TeamViewer - Free Remote Control, Remote Access & Online Meetings

    That's not correct for 1 on 1. I do it every day and we're all on just normal regular skype. Maybe you mean do webinar style meetings where you share your screen to a group? If so then I think you need the business version but I wouldn't use skype for that as there are better solutions for webinars.

    You'll get lots of suggestions here and in google if you search for free webinar. Most offer a trial or limited seating or advertising but you'll be able to share your screen with multiple people.

    I use Team viewer for non commercial 1 on 1 assistance but if you want just 1 on 1 screen share (without remote control) then skype will do just fine. You may both have to be on the same version (latest). This is especially true if a PC wants to share with a MAC.

    I would also say teamviewer! It's free and easy to use. I'm not quite sure about it but I think google hangout does the job as well!

    I am sure, you can share your screen without any paying money. so you need to use the updated software. if you use the old version of SKYPE, please update by a newer version of SKYPE, I am sure, you will be able to share screen.

    You can also share your screen via Teamviewer, even you can give full control of your computer to another via teamviewer.
