Mikogo Free Screen Sharing

Free Screen Sharing for Small Businesses

Orchestra has been featuring free business tools this year, so we thought we'd close out 2009 with a special post about one of our favorites. Mikogo is free software that allows you to share your screen with anyone in the world for web conferences, remote support, and more. We use it on a regular basis here at Orchestra for everything from official remote support sessions to impromptu screen sharing within the team.

Mikogo is built by BeamYourScreen, a company that provides high end web sharing technology to large enterprises. A few years ago, they heard the need for a free screen sharing tool, so they started Mikogo to satisfy the demand. Now we have a great tool that allows up to 10 people to connect online for free!

What does Mikogo do?

Mikogo provides small businesses with a great selection of tools to meet online, share your screen, hold web conferences, and more. Below are some of the great features and benefits of this free tool.

Meet with Mikogo

Meetings are a vital part of any organization’s operations and can play an important role in building successful business relations. But is it necessary to travel to the other side of town simply to attend a discussion which could be done quickly and effectively from your own desk?

Mikogo provides a very simple and fast way to transmit any screen content across the Web. Whether it be PDF or Word documents, spreadsheets, websites or other software applications, your meeting participants will be able to view your screen actions in real-time and follow you as you host your meeting.

Once you’ve finished your part of the meeting, you can easily switch presenters to one of the participants, and allow them to take charge and contribute to the meeting.

Support with Mikogo

Whether you own a tech support business, or you just need to help friends and family with some computer issues, tech support problems can be very difficult to solve without sitting in front of the computer in question.

Present with Mikogo

One of the great advantages of Mikogo is that there is no need to upload your presentation files before you start a free desktop sharing session. Mikogo allows you to conduct web presentations on the fly, so you can be flexible in your presentations and share any document or application on your computer, including presentation files.

Share with Mikogo

Mikogo is a great way to share your screen in real-time over the Internet with colleagues, clients, friends, or family. You’ll find many situations where sharing your screen content live via the web will save you time and money, and will consequently be the best course of action.

Teach with Mikogo

It comes as no surprise that the online teaching world has embraced Mikogo and started employing the software for Web seminars. In fact, when you think of the benefits that Mikogo has brought to online teaching, the words “being there for someone” have never been more appropriate. A free online meeting not only enhances the students’ participation but also allows the teacher to clearly guide their students, despite long distances.
