Collaboration
RGS enables the primary user to share their desktop session with several users simultaneously. This feature
can be used in a variety of collaborative scenarios including classroom instruction, design reviews, and
technical support.
A collaboration session is created when one or more users are authorized by the primary user to connect to
the primary user’s desktop session. This allows all users to view and interact with the primary user’s desktop.
1 Sender—Hosts RGS Sender, which transmits the sender desktop session to RGS Receiver on each receiver.
2 Primary user—This user is logged into the sender and must authenticate any secondary users joining the
session.
3 Collaborators—These users can view the primary user's remote desktop session if that user authenticates them.
NOTE: The image above is just an example of one possible conguration. Any combination of hardware supported by RGS Receiver
can be used by the primary user and collaborators.
The user currently controlling the mouse and keyboard is called the oor owner. Only one user, the oor
owner, can interact with the desktop at a time. To transition the oor owner, the current oor owner must
cease using the keyboard or mouse for 0.5 seconds. If another user uses the mouse or keyboard while the
current oor owner is inactive after this period, oor ownership transfers to the new user.
TIP: The delay’s value of 0.5 seconds can be changed using the RGS Sender Conguration tool on Windows
(see Using the RGS Sender Conguration tool on page 54 for more information).
Click the RGS Sender notication icon in the Windows notication area to open the HP RGS Collaborators
window, which allows you to do the following:
●
View who the primary user and collaborators are
●
Enable or disable collaborator input for individual collaborators or all collaborators at once by clicking
the appropriate mouse pointer icon
TIP: Individual collaborator input can also be enabled when authorizing the collaborator to connect by
selecting Enable Input for this user in the authorization dialog.
●
Disconnect individual collaborators or all collaborators at once by clicking the appropriate X icon
