Glance Networks Debuts Remote Control for Screen Sharing
Monday, October 29, 2007ARLINGTON, Mass. (October 29, 2007) – Glance Networks, Inc., creator of the “one-button-simple” Glance® desktop sharing service, today debuted a new lightweight remote control feature. Now Glance users can easily share their mouse and keyboard with other participants to quickly demonstrate software, co-edit documents, collaborate on designs, fill in forms and more – all online.
“Unlike traditional web conferencing tools, Glance’s method for mouse and keyboard sharing is so simple, it feels nearly effortless,” said Rich Baker, co-founder and CEO of Glance Networks. “Guests don’t even have to click a button. It’s that easy.”
Glance’s lightweight remote control feature lets any session become a collaborative experience. A Glance host can share control with guests at any time. The host instantly regains control by just moving his or her mouse. To let a guest take back control, the host simply pauses.
“Clients rely on us for securing their high end SAP implementations with biometrics,” said Thomas Neudenberger, chief operating officer of Realtime North America. “We use Glance’s remote control feature to better train our customers, letting them ‘learn by doing’ while we’re there to assist them. Glance’s implementation and use is as simple as it gets and the customers love it!”
In addition to remote control, Glance’s latest software release includes an increase in session size to 100 participants, providing more than enough capacity to use Glance for nearly any training session or webinar. Unlike many web conferencing services, Glance’s patent-pending StreamShapingTM technology individually optimizes each guest’s view, so everyone enjoys the best possible viewing experience, whatever their network speed. The release also adds more methods to keep session participants connected – even if their network unexpectedly drops or briefly fades.
With over 2,800 customers, Glance’s no-frills simplicity and reliability makes it an ideal sales tool for web demos and presentations. Its software-as-a-service model offers all of these new enhancements to subscribers for free. The new Glance version is available today for Microsoft WindowsTM PCs at www.glance.net/download. An upcoming version for the Apple MacTM will be announced soon.
