Join.Me

Introduction
Join.Me makes it possible to troubleshoot computer problems, even if you are not in the same room as the computer that is experiencing difficulties.

Accessing Join.Me
To use Join.Me, simply go to https://join.me. Viewing someone else’s screen is done in the browser, but sharing your screen will download an .exe file onto your computer, which can be reused the next time you want to share your screen.

Sharing Your Screen
Under “Share my screen,” you can select basic and click the orange button to launch the program. Your entire screen will now be visible to anyone with your 9-digit code, which can be found on the control panel near the top of your screen. From here, you may pause screen sharing, view a list of participants who are sharing your screen, communicate through a voice or text chat, or allow participants to take control of your screen. To terminate a session, click the cog on the right-hand corner and select “exit my session.”

Viewing Someone Else’s Screen
To view someone else’s screen, have them go through the steps to share their screen, then on https://join.me type their access code in and click the green button. When viewing someone else’s screen you have access to the chat features, a list of participants, and you may make a request to take control over the host’s screen.
