Keep it “wow.” Don’t share your desktop.
Even though we just had a terribly compelling post last week, we thought we’d really drive this one home, so we’re doing a 2 part series on it!
Next up, cold hard proof.
Some companies (like GoToMeeting) do web conferencing but you exclusively have to share your desktop and don’t have the option to upload content. Which is fine, I guess, if you are only demoing software and paying a lot for it.
So, let’s say you want to show video in your meeting. In the video below, you can see a GoToMeeting video being shown through screen share up next to a Fuze Meeting video shared through content upload.
*video after the jump*
Now. Since we’re fair and honest people, we don’t mind telling you that our screen share is about equal to GoToMeeting’s screen share (so…that right panel could have said Fuze Meeting Desktop Share just as easily).
I mean, I don’t need to spell out the quality difference here – it’s right in front of you! So, when choosing an online meeting service, can you please just be sure to pick one that lets you upload content?
Why you shouldn’t share your desktop
Did you think I was going to suggest embarrassing IM’s? Well, I’m not. That’s for a later post, Why You Shouldn’t Participate in Embarrassing IM’s on Any Computer You Use For Work. Period.
This is actually a quality issue.
YES sometimes you have to share your desktop when you’re demoing software or providing tech support, but quite often people share their desktop when they’re simply sharing content. And that’s a big no-no.
Here’s why:
Let’s use video as an example! Video quality is measured in frames per second, or FPS. When you go to the movies, you watch the film in about 24 FPS. IMAX runs at 48 FPS, which is why IMAX gets away with charging an extra $7.
Now, let’s throw web conferencing into the mix. There are a ton of factors that will go into FPS like…bandwidth, computer speed, screen size, etc. But for the point of comparison, we’re going to assume all contributing factors are performing at their best. Check out how the numbers fall out.
