Share your screen with a link
Create a link so someone can watch your browser session, or use the mouse and keyboard, without signing in. Links end on a timer or when you disconnect.

Company admins and the employee assigned to a computer can give someone a link to the screen while connected in a browser. The person opening the link does not need an account. Sharing is not available from a Remote Desktop session.
- Connect in a browser.
- Click Share screen in the bar above the screen.
- Choose View only or With control.
- Choose how long it lasts under Link ends after: 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours or 1 day.
- Click Create link.
- Copy the link and send it to the person.
Anyone with the link can see your screen, and with With control they can use the mouse and keyboard. The link is shown only once, so copy it straight away.
End a share
A link ends when any of these happens:
- Its time runs out.
- You click Disconnect, or close the tab.
- You click Share screen again and click Stop beside it under Open links.
The person then sees This screen share has ended. Create a new link if they need to come back.
Open links also shows how many times each link has been opened.
While you are sharing
The screen stays the same size even if you resize your window, because refitting it would end your links. Reloading the page or connecting again also ends them.
