Share desktop via Communicator Web Access with any user

If you need to share your desktop using OCS with users outside your company network then you can use Communicator Web Access (CWA) to achieve this.

First, open the OCS Admin console on your OCS server > Global Properties > Meetings > select Default Policy > Edit > Check “Enable Program and Desktop Sharing” and “Allow control of shared programs and desktop”.

Then, go back to the Meeting tab and select “Allow users to invite anonymous participants” from the Anonymous Users dropdown.

Once the server is setup, log in to CWA > Meet Now > Invite (using email) > send the URL to the other party > when link is accessed externally the other party will get the screen below > select Yes > type Name > Join.

Now share your desktop from OCS as you would normally!
