A question for agency peeps regarding screen sharing software....(I think this request that's being made is impossible, but I'm not entirely sure)....question inside....

I would recommend doing an unlisted YouTube video or a Vimeo video with password and link out.

We use join.me for screen sharing. I've also used GoToMeeting and Google Hangouts.

There are people who want to be able to use join.me to share their screen to present Keynote/Powerpoint/PDFs. Easy enough. But these same people would like to play a video embedded within their presentation (or locally from their machine) and have it play with proper audio and video fidelity on the screen-sharing recipient's side.

I'm 99% sure that this isn't possible at least with present day internet speeds and technology. Playing a video from your machine locally, then sharing your screen will result in the end recipient seeing a still frame that changes every few seconds or something that is janky and stilted.

Before I tell the powers that be with 100% certainty nobody can do this, has somebody actually figured it out?

Alternatively, how does your group handle presentations where you want to drive the bus via screensharing, but still have a video render properly on the client's machine and keep the gymnastics to a minimum?

We did this recently using Xoom. The video was embedded in PPT. Had to test multiple times to make sure the audio didn’t result in feedback, but our IT team figured it out!

It is possible but challenging. Most of the online meeting apps that do this well want you to upload the video or PowerPoint file into their system so it can process and play it from there. I have yet to find any system that supports Keynote which isn’t surprising considering the typical file size.

Our creatives/strategists want to play a 500 MB keynote with video on their laptop over WiFi at Starbucks in an online meeting with no prep and are surprised when doesn’t work. Can be done but it takes planning, preferably an actual wired connection, not using Keynote and testing in advance.

Director 1: I would assume that the services that you can upload video or PPT files into ultimately require the client (or presentation recipient) to download and install an application because presumably it wants to put the file on the client's local machine.

Therefore, you are going to have scenarios where the client's IT department won't allow the application to be downloaded, or they will but nobody remembers to do it so the first ten minutes of the call are dedicated to browsing infrastructure.

Is that a correct assumption? One of the reasons we went to join.me is because literally every client can open a browser link and it pretty much always works for the meat and potatoes applications.

Many of these stream the video through the browser or app if they can install it so the file isn’t actually transferred. GoToMeeting, WebEx both offer web apps so you don’t need the client app. Skype for Business does too although I’ve found it can be sketchy if you don’t have a solid bandwidth
