6 free remote desktop sharing and screen sharing solutions

yuuguu
Probably my favorite because of it’s ease of use and the fact that you can use it to remotely access your PC or MAC also! Yuuguu is completely free and allows you to instantly share your screen with anyone. Works well through firewalls also and on MACs.
crossloop
CroosLoop is also very easy to use, but requires that each party install the CrossLoop software onto their computers. Uses 128-bit encryption and allows for file-sharing also.
logmein
Another popular service for remote desktop sharing. Easily access remote PC’s by installing a client software onto each machine. Good for remote PC trouble-shooting, etc.
showmypc
A good free tool for online collaboration, desktop sharing, and remote PC access. No registration required, no logins, very easy to use. Uses SSH to make connections to other PC’s.
skyfex
SkyFex allows remote watching and remote control in real time. Does not require additional software installation and works transparently through NAT and Firewalls. Only for IE though.
teamviewer
TeamViewer has a couple of features, such as remote control of PCs, screen sharing, file transfer, chat ability, and is secure. Have to install the TeamViewer software for it to work.
screen stream
A free software that lets others watch your screen in real time. No need to install any software, which is a plus. Works with Windows, Mac and Linux.
You can use all of the applications for all kind of activities, such as boardroom presentations, group lectures, remote PowerPoint presentations, computer helpdesk, whiteboard for telephone conferences, etc.
If you know of one that I missed or think is better, post a comment! Enjoy!

Hi Markus,

how about Mikogo? It's a free deskptop sharing and remote support software. It's very easy to use, secure and works cross-platform. Maybe you'd like to have a look at it under www.mikogo.com?

Cheers,
Jule

Nice list. How about using on premise RHUB (www.rhubcom.com) desktop sharing appliances? It is easy to use and best part is, it is only one time cost as compared to hosted services.
