Screen sharing software is great for training, meetings, and other educational opportunities. It is extremely valuable to be able take your digital project and project on a screen in a meeting room or to share it with remote access guests.
Online meeting tools were primarily focused on video and chat. These components are still very useful for communication and collaboration. You can show clients what you are doing by connecting to your laptop or display on your PC. This can make any presentation or sales pitch more compelling.
This article will quickly help you compare and evaluate the top screen sharing software and other web conference tools. I will briefly highlight the top remote screen sharing tools and then, where applicable, show you how to screen-share using those apps or devices.
Software Comparison Criteria
What should we look for when reviewing screen sharing software? Here is a summary of my evaluation criteria.
User Interface (UI), Is it clean?
Usability: Is it simple to learn and master? Is the company able to provide good tech support, tutorials, or training?
Integrations: Does it make it easy to connect with other tools and programs? Are there any pre-built integrations available?
Value for $: What price is appropriate for the features, capabilities and use case? Is pricing transparent, flexible, and clear?
Software Key Features

Keyboard/Mouse Control: Can another user grant permission to the present user’s keyboard and/or mouse for presentation or IT support needs?

Overviews of the Best Screen Sharing Software
This is a brief overview of each screen-sharing app and hardware featured on this list.
1 Google Hangouts
The best screen sharing software for free and the easiest to use screen sharing software
Google Hangouts allows you to create a meeting, invite guests, or join pre-existing conference call calls. Screen sharing can be initiated from within Hangouts via the menu bar. This will open a new window to the feature.
Free-of-cost software is clearly appealing to our Value for Cost segment. Google Hangouts is robust enough to meet most small business needs and it’s easy-to-use.
Integrations can be used to connect other Google software like Gmail, Google Docs and so forth. Third-party services can also be connected via Zapier or the designated Google API.
A downside to free video-conferencing tools is that they will offer paid-tools that allow for deeper experiences.
