Microsoft SharedView has been designed to share an application or computer desktop with a small group of people. The only requirement for Microsoft SharedView is a Windows Live ID to start a session in the program. The invited users on the other hand do not need their own ID only the ID of the session starter which is needed to join the session. A typical work scenario would look like the following. One user starts the Microsoft SharedView software and creates a new session after logging in with a Windows Live ID. An auto-generated email can be dispatched to invite users to join the session.
The session starter selects an application to share, for example a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The shared document will be displayed brighter in this case than the parts of the desktop that are not shared. It is furthermore possible to post additional files that every user can access. Lastly it is possible to preview the desktop how users who join would see it.
Several options are available:
A toolbar will be displayed on the top of the screen that can be used to start and join sessions and to access the options. An option to share documents is offered in selected Microsoft applications after installation of the software. Invited users can take control of a session to work on the document. Changes are automatically tracked and logged so that everyone can identify which user made the changes to the document.
Microsoft SharedView offers a way to quickly share and work together with multiple users on documents.
