I use the apache guacamole server for desktop sharing, integral with various other services provided from my domain space.
Secure Connections
Your connection is secure, only registered users can connect to the guacamole server. Once registered, you can check your desktop connect here.
Registration is free and fast using google or twitter, or you can manually register which requires manual approval.
Tips for better sharing experience
Decide on supporting mode of interaction
Ft Doorbell
The Ft doorbell fronts the Jitsi video service and is the default means of live interaction. You may need to expand the doorbell bar by clicking on the flap to see a desktop link.
Phone Call
Ft doorbell supports smart phones and is meant to coordinate with the desktop sharing but a regular phone call can be used instead. You will still need to register to use the desktop service.
Chat
Instead of or in addition to voice and/or video, you can use either the Jitsi or Guacamole chat functions.
Setup any remote server connections
Typically this will be ssh sessions with your AWS, Linode, or other hosts. I can help you set this up in a session, if you don't already have it.
Be at an actual desktop
Tablets such as iPad Pro may be supported later but for now an actual Linux, Mac, or Windows desktop is required.
Close pornhub tabs
Just kidding, but you may want to check if anything sensitive on the desktop needs to be adjusted for the session.
