      We have a purely browser-based solution for screen sharing, AlmostMeet, that you may want to give a try. None of the participants need to install anything even if they all want to share their desktops; just click a link to bring up the shared session. We also have high-quality P2P voice and video chat, a revolutionary whiteboard, file sharing, and more.
