Invitt LE lets you invite others to see your screen with a minimum
of fuss, installation, and registration. The LE version doesn't
have as many features as the Pro version: You can only share your
screen with one other computer over the Internet, and your invitee
will have to register to see your screen (among other
shortcomings). But all this takes about two minutes, and I haven't
seen a competing program that makes it easier.
Basically, using Invitt LE only requires entering your invitee's
e-mail address in the dialog and clicking Show Screen. Your invitee
receives an e-mail including a link. She or he clicks on the link,
which opens a browser window showing your screen (I tested with
Internet Explorer and Firefox, and both worked). To see it, your
invitee must have the latest version of Java (www.java.com).
In my testing, Invitt LE worked as expected, with the screen
refreshing fairly quickly. It was a little annoying, though, that
my invitee had to scroll to see the whole screen instead of it
automatically scaling. And currently Invitt requires both parties
use Windows, not Mac or Linux.
(To get geeky for a moment, Invitt LE is actually a simple
graphical user interface for TightVNC, an open-source version of
VNC [Virtual Network Computing]. More specifically, Invitt LE uses
the Java applet version of Tight VNC. Invitt LE adds tunneling for
security and an easy-to-use mechanism for inviting others. The LE
version isn't a full remote-computer implementation because it
doesn't let your invitee use your mouse and keyboard, but the Pro
version [$89 per year] does.)
Note: Invitt LE asks that you unblock TightVNC via the
Windows Firewall. This is likely not a major security risk, but you
should exercise discretion as to whom you invite to your Invitt LE
sessions, and use your security software judiciously.
