About online sessions

Online sessions let you share your work over the network with colleagues.

If you host a session, you control the program as others watch. If you join a session, you can watch as the person hosting the session presents. See Set up and participate in online sessions.

Security warning

Note that use of online sessions may jeopardize the data on your system without the proper safeguards in place:

Set up an online session with trusted participants only. Viewers (clients) can leave the session and modify or save data. If the data comes from a network share, the data can then be saved locally.
This feature requires a full copy of Internet Explorer running. Verify that your system administrator is aware of any current Internet security issues, and that your system has the latest virus checking software installed.
