How to use screen sharing
As a conference moderator, you can share any area of your
screen, for example your web browser. For the presenter side the
screen sharing feature requires a Windows desktop (the viewer side
may use any operating system). Screen sharing for Linux and Mac OS
X desktops will be available in Q2/2007.
Here you can download the screen sharing client.

-
Login with your spreed user account. Therefore, use your email
and password.
