ⓔ WebRTC Desktop Sharing for Chrome – Share your desktop with just a link

Byryan May 20, 2015May 19, 2015

With the WebRTC Desktop Sharing extension installed in Chrome, you can share your desktop with other Chrome browsers with just a link. Once the extension is installed, you can click on the icon it places in your toolbar to start sharing your screen.

You will need some way to get the link to your students. A url shortener like Goo.gl or Bitly would work. Another option is to use a push system like Pushbullet and push the link as a notification to the class.

Once the class has clicked on the link, they will be able to see everything on your screen. Note, you can also do this with other services, such as Google Hangouts, but that has limits with number of viewers. This extension will support up to 256 viewers at one time.

Byryan June 1, 2015June 1, 2015

By default, Chrome (and Firefox) tries to expand the tabs in the browser to accommodate enough of the title of the page so you can see it. Sometimes though, you don’t need the title. For example, your Gmail tab will have the Gmail icon and then the name of the label you are currently viewing…

Source: Animated Engines – Home Animated Engines and 507 Mechanical Movements are two sites that show animations how the engine or motion works.

Tab Hover Cards and Tab Hover Cards Images are coming to Google Chrome – but you can try them now

Byryan July 3, 2019June 25, 2019

I don’t really know if hover cards are something I really need. But, since I’m a user that usually has so many tabs open that each tab is reduced to its favicon, I’m willing to give hover cards a shot. Once enabled, mousing over a tab will show the page title and site domain name….
