Re: [orca-list] screen sharing options

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Yes, that would be through the main skype client's interface. 
I know that pidgin and the helper I most use, skcmd, do no
nothing with desktop sharing, and am pretty sure that clisk doesn't have any screen sharing functionality 
either. 
Not sure about latest clisk though, or if something could be done using the skype4py interface if one had the 
knowledge to create or extend an ap.
In the skype GUI just select a contact and tab a couple of times to you hear show more options for this 
contact, press the space bar and down arrow till 
you find share share your screen.
I assume that an additional window opens, but have never used this myself.
