Checking out the preview release of Windows 8? If you’re not, here’s a great reason: We just released a new join.me viewer in the Windows Store that will allow you to view any join.me meeting from your Windows PC, tablet or smartphone, all in the brand-new Windows 8 style. Check it out below:
Anyone using a Windows 8 device? What do you think of the join.me viewer?
but how to share screeen on windows 8
Hi,
You can’t share from Windows 8 yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as you can.
Maggie
Any word on when sharing a desktop from Windows 8 will be available? We are looking for a solution that is compatible, and right now it looks like Teamviewer is one of the few that works. We were hoping that Join.me would catch up…..at least over the time since the last post on this thread.
Hi Rick,
We are working hard to improve join.me all the time, and Windows 8 is something that is being investigated by our development team as we continue to make join.me better. As soon as there is any news, you’ll hear it here first.
Maggie
Any update on sharing in Win 8?
Not yet, but as soon as there is any news, it’ll be posted here first.
Maggie
How can you ask to have control of other user’s mouse ? With IE version, you clicked on the mouse and it asked the user if he wants to share his keyboard/mouse. Did not see how to do it with this Win8 app.
Hi Pat,
We’re still working on Windows 8 capabilities – as soon as we have any news, it’ll be posted here.
Thanks,
Maggie
I just shared today and it seemed to be working. I did it using RDP on the host machine, I hope this is not a special case. can you please confirm?
Thank you
Hi Lucian,
Can you give me a bit more about what you’d like confirmation on?
Thanks,
Maggie
Hi Maggie – any update on screen sharing for Windows 8?
Hi Peter,
I don’t have anything for you right now, but keep checking the blog – any news will be here first.
Thanks,
Maggie
I’m doing a presentation regarding IE 10 next month for a MeetUp group and if join,me doesn’t have a Win 8 sharing client soon, I’ll not only be using TeamViewer, but introducing a dozen or more people to it… solely because I can share my Win 8 screen via TeamViewer, but not join.me.
Hi Greg,
We will have news on Windows 8 very soon… please stay tuned.
Maggie
Staying tuned. I really find join.me simpler and more responsive than TeamViewer, so fingers crossed.
Thanks for staying tuned – we’ve put the release out today. I’m writing a post on it now -
Maggie
Thanks Greg! We switched to TeamViewer successfully. Sorry join.me, but comments like “Windows 8 is something that is being investigated by our development team” above tell me that none of your developers knew that Windows 8 would work differently and nobody tested with the Beta that’s been out for months. Not inspiring a lot of confidence that this will be fixed soon…
Anton,
Sorry to lose you. We’ve put out the Windows release today.
Maggie
Anton, you spoke too soon.
Another request for screen sharing using join.me on Windows 8
Now that it has been launched you are going see lots of request I expect.
