What services out there let you view, in real time, another computer user interact with their screen? I don’t need audio - I have a phone. It needs to be low-install on the users’ side. And I don’t need heavy applications, all I want is to see the screen of the other user and how they interact with it. The usability applications I’ve seen are overspecced and expensive. Webex is expensive. Any pointers?
