Mobile Remote Screen-Sharing with Reflector

by Ethnio. Average Reading Time: less than a minute.

There is a new app called Reflector that lets you easily mirror from an iPhone or iPad to a Mac desktop, which you can then share remotely in real-time. That’s a big deal because 1) it’s fast and reliable 2) it’s wireless, and 3) you can screen share a mobile device remotely. Using this in conjunction with GoToMeeting or Skype, as long as you have a participant with a Mac nearby on the same wifi network as their iPhone or iPad, you’re good to go. You could also turn on the webcam sharing in GoToMeeting with an external USB webcam for extra awesome face + mobile device. This would just be a cleaner, more high fidelity version of what’s possible with the MailChimp Webcam Hugging Technique. You can see our quick test with it below, and just imagine a screen recorder running and a webcam at the same time, which would be no problemo.
