Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Join Me at Join.Me!

There are so many times that it would be handy for a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant to share his or her computer screen with another party who’s not in the room. It’s always easier to discuss a presentation, problem or tech support issue that you both can see, especially when one of you can point to it with your mouse.

One day you might want to share your screen with an attorney-client in order to point something out in an image that you included in one of your legal nurse consulting reports. Another time you might need to see the screen of the CLNC® consultant who is doing your online research – you can walk through your searches together, preview your results and narrow down your keywords to get the best results. You might share your screen with a CLNC® subcontractor to help them focus on a significant portion of a scanned medical chart.

The great folks at LogMeIn® have come up with a solution called Join.Me. With this simple, safe program you simply visit the Join.Me website, download the Join.Me executable file and run it. It will install itself on your desktop. When you’re ready to start sharing or viewing you simply double-click your Join.Me shortcut, which starts the program. This image should appear:

Decide whether you want to share your screen or view someone else’s screen. If you want to share your screen, click the orange button and it will log you in and tell you when it’s ready to be shared and assign you a nine-digit number.

The person who needs to see your screen simply visits https://join.me/,

types in your nine-digit number into the “join” box, clicks the green button and they can see your screen! You can add additional parties and even swap control of the mouse back and forth between the participants.

If you need to share someone else’s screen you simply do the process in reverse. Join.Me works on Macs®, PCs and some mobile devices so you can use it almost anywhere. This is a terrific free tool that every one of my CLNC® amigos should be utilizing right now!

Keep on techin’,

Tom
