I want to let other people see what I'm doing on my desktop.

I tried solutions such as Macromedia Breeze-live and WebEx which offer live desktop viewing.

Those solutions would be fine but they offer a little too much features as I don't want to actually have conferences and use all the features they got. All I need is to let people view what's happening on my desktop live with about 100 people viewing it simultaneously.

I searched for a program that would enable me to capture my dektop activity so I could stream it myself but I didn't find anything :(

My option of last resort would be buying a camcorder and positioning it in front of the monitor and streaming the video live that way. I have a strongly feeling though that there must be a better option to do this.

Help is very appriciated.

Something VNC-related might work... many allow authenticated view-only connections. But 100 clients? Depending on the screen resolution and color-depth you're looking at 30-100 kbps per connection, if a standard VNC server can support that many!

Huh. Maybe with a VNC repeater on a high(er)-bandwidth server it would work. Sorry, no specifics...

Hmm, I'm not really looking for computer control. All I wanna do is broadcast my computer activity live over the internet. Thanks for the inf though.

Anyone else got some insight into this?

While you're not looking for remote-control of your system, VNC in a 'view-only' mode might still be the best option. It's worth a look.

I use UltraVNC, which I believe comes with a Java client so could be embedded in a webpage making a nice easy system for your users to login to.

p.s. Streaming a video-capture of your desktop (either internally captured, or from a camcorder) would need a huge amount of bandwidth to give a detailed image. With 100 users watching you would need a relay-machine on a very fat pipe.

Ok, thanks, I'll check them out.
