[Athen] screen-sharing between PC and Mac?

[joe at a11yeval.com]

Hi All,

 

I share a lot of devices across each other (MacOS, Windows, iPhone, Android, Xbox, PS4). 

 

Microsoft remote desktop should work, if: 

*	the student’s computer is Windows 7,8, 10 *PRO*
*	if the school’s network is not blocking remote desktop access
*	if the student’s home internet is not blocking remote desktop access (if the PC is off campus
*	and if on the windows computer all the proper settings are set, including windows firewall.

 

I agree with Dan’s recommendation of Zoom. If remote control is needed you could also try TeamViewer (its free for personal use). Note: TeamViewer may not work with AT (some AT require special licenses for remote access).

 

Thankx,

  Joe Humbert

Common conferencing programs will do the trick, as long as the Mac user doesn't need to interact with the PC screen as far as a screenreader. We've had excellent results conferencing with Zoom.

Hello,

 

I was hoping someone on here might have helpful suggestions for sharing a PC’s screen to a Mac. I’ve already tried downloading Microsoft Remote Desktop to both of my devices to test it out, but after checking all settings quite a few times, it’s still not working. Thanks in advance for the help!

 

Thanks,

Emma
