My friend is running Ubuntu 14.04. I need to give him some technical support, but I can't visit his house, so I want to stream his screen.
We both have pretty slow Internet plans (800 kilobits per second, both up and down.) I want fair resolution, enough to read text, etc. Therefore, the FPS will have to be very low in order for this to work on this speed. Even if the FPS is 0.5, I don't mind. That is enough for me to offer technical support.
I'd also prefer if it was easy to set up, as I'll have to explain to him over the phone how to set it up. I'd like if someone could offer me a step by step answer on how to set this up. If anyone does this and it works, I'll give them a bounty on the answer.
Can Skype for Linux do this? Remember that the resolution should be fair, and the FPS can be low.
He already has Open Broadcaster Software installed, but I've looked at it, and I couldn't figure out how to use it.
As for me, I can use any OS that may be needed for the occasion. Ubuntu, Windows, Android x86, OS X, even iOS. I actually prefer to do it in OS X though, as my laptop is a Hackintosh and I boot other operating systems from USB.
ssh
is not impossible to do, but yes it requires some work. But I am understanding it wrong maybe. I read about support and I forgot your original question. You just want him to stream, right? You do not want to give him support directly from your PC?
