Glance Guest User Guide

GlanceGuest is a lightweight application that allows unauthenticated visitors to share their screen with authenticated Glance agents.

GlanceGuest, available for Windows and Mac, must be downloaded, installed, and invoked for a particular Glance group before the screen sharing session can start. Once the session starts, only agents in the appropriate group can view the visitor’s screen.
