Share your screen, not your computer.
Show what's on your screen in real time — for code reviews, design feedback, classroom lessons, or step-by-step support. View-only by default, with one click to hand over control if you want it.
From your screen to theirs in seconds.
Share what you're working on without giving anyone control of your machine.
Start a session
Share your GoDesk ID and one-time password with the other person. They paste the ID and the session opens in view-only mode by default — nobody can click anything on your machine.
Pick a display
Multi-monitor? Choose which screen to share, or share all of them at once. Switch displays mid-session with Ctrl+1..9, or share a single application window if you only want to show one thing.
Hand off control if you want
View-only is the default for a reason — most screen-shares don't need remote input. When you do (pair-programming, teaching a workflow), flip the View-only toggle off and the other person can drive.
Built for showing, not just controlling.
Screen-sharing in GoDesk is a first-class mode — not a remote-desktop session with input switched off.
View-only by default
When you start a session, the other side sees your screen but can't move your cursor, type, or click. Safer for ad-hoc shares with people you don't fully trust.
Low-latency video
VP9 + H.264 encoding tuned for typing/scrolling latency — usable for live coding sessions and demos where every keystroke needs to land on time.
Pick what to share
Whole screen, single monitor in a multi-monitor setup, or a single application window. Useful when your other monitors have sensitive content you'd rather not broadcast.
No accounts for viewers
Anyone you share your GoDesk ID with can view — they download GoDesk and connect. No "viewer license", no per-seat billing, no signup required for the other side.
Honest specs, no marketing fluff.
How GoDesk handles the screen-sharing wire.
Adaptive video pipeline
VP9 is the default; H.264 + AV1 are available when both ends support hardware acceleration. The encoder picks the right codec per session based on what the viewer's machine can decode efficiently.
Adaptive bitrate
Quality scales with available bandwidth. On a poor connection you get a readable, lower-resolution view instead of a frozen frame. Configure the cap from Settings → Image quality.
Display picker before share
The system displays you're about to share are listed in the session toolbar with an explicit dropdown — no surprise broadcasts. View-only state is shown to both sides at all times.
Show your work in seconds.
Whether it's a code review, a design walkthrough, or a classroom lesson — start a screen-share session in under a minute.
