We routinely use NoMachine NX or X2Go to share the desktop for remote
data collection. And recently I have personally collected data using
such while simultaneously running a Zoom window for communication.
Internet speed to my home is about 100 Mbps download, 11 Mbps upload. A
few notes:
If the remote desktop is full access rather than view-only, there is the
fun game of fighting for control of the mouse. A voice channel is useful
for establishing who gets the wheel.
If limited bandwidth and latency are issues, limit use of streaming
video. Our video windows allow reduction of the frame rate for precisely
that reason.
In Zoom, and I presume in equivalent applications, you can turn the
video off and use it for sound sharing only. If the desktop is being
shared via NX there is no need to share it again with a second app.
The data collection and the Zoom or equivalent do not necessarily need
to be running on the same machine. Our data collection workstations tend
not to have cameras and microphones.
I have no experience with Teams nor anything else that is geared to
Microsoft/Windows.
Cheers,

Diamond in the next couple of weeks. These are his first crystals.
It would be good if he could be involved in watching it.
I was wondering if anyone had tried sharing screen and voice via
moodle collaborate or Microsoft Teams while doing a data collection?
Zoom is deprecated by our institution but if anyone had succeeded on
zoom that would also be interesting.
I am on Virgin media 100 MB broadband which is pretty much achieving
that (upload is only around 9 MB though).
Alternatively we can try and set him up to connect via nx and watch,
but that would lose the sound connection unless I have a phone tucked
under my chin.
We could just record my screen and sound and he could watch later.
Any tips?
Best wishes
Nick
