What is needed to run desktop sharing?
BigBlueButton uses a Java applet to capture screen updates. This means desktop sharing works for Mac, Unix, and PC platforms. Only the presenter need have Java installed to share their desktop. You can test if your system has Java installed using the following link. To download Java for your computer, visit the Java download page. There are no additional requirements (beyond having Flash installed) for viewers to run BigBlueButton and view the presenter’s desktop.
