Share Desktop Control is a mode which allows the Client to remotely view your desktop and control your mouse and keyboard. It may be useful when you need to demonstrate something to the Client on your own desktop and share control of the mouse and keyboard.

To allow the Client to control your computer:

1.	Connect to the Client's computer and start the support session. The Expert Main Form (Active Session Status) will appear.

3.	Choose the Local desktop control menu item.

Note. If the Remote Desktop View/Control session is in progress, it will be stopped and the Share Desktop Control session will be started. You cannot work on the Client's desktop and provide local control of your desktop to the Client simultaneously.

4.	When the Share Desktop Control session has been established, the Client can view your desktop and control your mouse and keyboard.

Note. The Techinline service allows both the Expert and the Client to simultaneously control the Expert's mouse and keyboard during the Share Desktop Control session.

The Client will see your desktop in one of the following ways:

•	The Remote Desktop Control toolbar will appear on the Client's screen if the Client's screen resolution is equal to or lower than yours. Your desktop will be shown in full screen mode.
