we are looking to get our muscian friends online with Jamulus on Linux but need a way of taking remote control of their screen. Has anyone done this and what software configuration did you use ?
We have found that our muscuan mates are lovely but we dont trust them when it comes to IT. We want them to use the Jamulus OS on a liveCD as we dont want any other apps to interfer making delays. If they get probs with plugging in hardware/ set up jack etc, it is just easier for us to do it.
Remote also needs to be secure. Any ideas ?
Would be great if this was built into Jamulus but i'm sure you have bigger things on.

Yes. it's a little-known function of Zoom. I don't know if it has limitations (eg can you see certain things like system dialogues and whatnot) but it's certainly worth a go.

I'd recommend Teamviewer (used it for many years) as it's available on all major platforms and iOS and Android too. It's a remote support tool not a vc tool. Free to use for non-commercial use. It is also secure and is updated regularly.
Hi Team,

I've not tried it on Linux, but Zoom may be able to do it. Send them a meeting link and then when they join you can request access:

zoom is an idea. although ideally i was wanted to control of their mouse and keyboard.
So presume with zoom they would share their screen and we would say what to do. Not as quick but could work.
[post edit - turns out zoom offers full control of other persons mouse and keyboard]

What you want is what they call a Remote Support Session in the link Gilgongo listed above
originally looking at Reinna app but issues with installing servers and creation of keys.
