Starting a GlanceGuest session
Starting the Session
Sessions start in the following ways:
Visitor-Initiated
-
The agent directs the visitor to Screen Share via a link (e.g., https://www.glance.net/visitor/start/?groupid=12345)
Note: 12345 in the above URL must be replaced with the desired group ID
-
The visitor visits the link to start the download of GlanceGuest.
-
The visitor unzips GlanceGuest download
-
The visitor clicks Launch Glance on the web page (not in GlanceGuest).
-
The visitor may be prompted by the browser or OS to allow GlanceGuest to be opened.
-
The visitor begins the Screen Share session.
-
The agent joins the Screen Share session from the AgentJoin page.
Agent-Initiated
- The agent starts a View session in the Glance client.
- The agent directs the visitor to an agent-specific URL (e.g., agent1.glance.net).
- The visitor enters the key received from the agent and clicks Join Session
- The visitor is redirected to a group-specific URL to download, open, and install GlanceGuest.
- The visitor clicks Click Here to begin the session.
- The visitor may receive a browser prompt to open GlanceGuest.
- The visitor accepts the prompt from GlanceGuest that someone would like to view their screen. Sessions started by this method can begin in either gesture-only or remote-control mode.
- The agent can now view the visitor’s screen.
