# Screen Sharing

**Screen Sharing** (Bildschirm teilen) is a technique that allows a user to transmit a real-time visual feed of their desktop to another participant. 

In the context of URZ remote support, screen sharing is the primary mechanism for "Global" (worldwide) support. Unlike full remote control, screen sharing allows the support staff to see the user's actions and provide verbal or chat-based guidance without having the ability to manipulate the user's system directly.

## Implementation at Uni Greifswald
The URZ utilizes [[jitsi-meet]] for this purpose. Users join a specific meeting room and activate the "Screen Share" icon to grant the support technician visibility into their current workspace.
