TiffanyScreens 3.0, a major leap forward
TiffanyScreens is a presentation tool that continuously captures the content of the presenter's screen and sends it to multiple other computers at the same time. Best of all, any computer can seamlessly become the presenting computer, no matter if connected wirelessly or through an Ethernet cable.
Obviously, TiffanyScreens works best when all clients reside on the same local network, but like we know just too well, not all team members we wish to include in a screen sharing session can always be in the same room, on the same local network, or use a VPN-client. For all those teams and peer groups, there is good news: TiffanyScreens 3.0 is a major leap forward, making a subset of TiffanyScreens' functionality available over the Internet.

A subset of TiffanyScreens' functionality becomes available over the Internet
To share screen content over the internet, the broadcasting user simply enables "Web-Sharing" by clicking the WebFolder icon. A message dialog pops up, confirming that Web-Sharing is now enabled and also displaying the Event-ID that is needed to access the screen-content via a Web Browser.Group members that are not on the local network can now access the presentation over the internet, by pointing their Web Browsers to this address: http://my.tiffanyscreens.com
Here, the aforementioned mentioned Event-ID needs to be entered and after clicking the Connect button, the presenter's screen content will appear in the browser.
Many different factors, like connection speed and screen resolution influence the quality of the presentation. Peers using TiffanyScreens on the local area network get the best possible experience, screen content is only scaled on the receiving end and updated about once per second or faster. Peers accessing the presentation with a Web Browser still get a decent user experience, but by no means will it be be as good and smooth as peers on the local network experience it.
Access authorization still hasn't been implemented for users using the a Web Browser to access a presentation, which means that password protected content is currently not made available over the internet.
All TiffanyScreens 1.x and 2.x licenses will continue to work with the TiffanyScreens 3.0.
However, Web-Sharing will only be available to licensed users.
Keep in mind that this is still an early beta release and your feedback is really appreciated.
