Remote IT support calls with screen sharing, drawing and knock entry

IT and helpdesk teams can send a user one browser link, see their screen and draw arrows and circles on it to show exactly what to click. Nothing needs installing on the user's machine, knock entry keeps the support room to one user at a time, and the call can run over TLS port 443 on restrictive networks.

A Meeto call with a shared screen and drawing on it.

A support call

How does a screen-sharing support call work in Meeto?

Open a room for the ticket, let the user in, ask them to share their screen and point with the drawing tools while they click.

  1. Open a room per ticket. Start a meeting and set entry to knock, so you approve the person who joins. Paste the link into the ticket, an email or chat; in Pumble, /meeto posts a joinable call card.
  2. Let the right person in. The user's knock appears with their name. Let them in, and lock entry if the room should stay closed for the rest of the call.
  3. Ask for the whole screen. The browser offers a screen, a window or a tab. A whole screen shows menus, pop-ups and system dialogs that a single window can hide, and Meeto warns the user when they share only one window.
  4. Point instead of describing. Draw an arrow to the setting, circle the error message or type the value to enter. Clear your marks when the user moves to the next step.
  5. Share your own screen when it is faster. Show the correct settings on a test machine, then hand the share back to the user.
  6. Close with the fix in writing. Summarize the steps in the ticket. In-call chat clears when the meeting ends, so anything worth keeping goes into the ticket.

For customer-facing support from a help page or an in-product button, the customer support workflow uses the website widget.

Networks and devices

Will it work on the user's network and devices?

Meeto is built for browsers on office and home networks, restrictive ones included, and it adapts when the connection is poor.

Restrictive networks

The call can travel over TURN on TLS port 443. Rooms run in the nearest media region, Europe or South-East Asia.

Weak connections

On a weak network the call steps down quality automatically, can fall back to the speaker's video only or to audio only, and recovers when the connection improves.

Device problems

If the user's camera or microphone will not start, the camera and microphone guide covers browser permissions and devices in use by other apps.

Privacy on a shared screen

How do you keep a shared screen from showing too much?

Agree on what will be on screen before the user shares it, and never collect credentials through the call.

  • Ask the user to close personal email, password managers and unrelated documents before sharing the whole screen.
  • Never ask for a password in chat or on screen. Have the user type it themselves while you look away from the share, or reset it through your normal process.
  • Tell the user before you record or start an AI summary; Meeto shows a banner and an indicator to everyone in the call when either starts.
  • Calls are encrypted in transit (WebRTC, DTLS-SRTP) through Meeto's media servers in Europe and South-East Asia. The security overview has the details your policy may ask for.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the user need to install anything?

No. The user opens the link in a current desktop browser and joins without an account, which suits locked-down machines where people cannot install software. If a company browser policy holds back the camera, microphone or screen capture, the camera and microphone guide covers the usual fixes.

Can a user share a phone screen?

Yes, from the Meeto app for iPhone or Android, which shares the whole phone screen. When the problem is on the phone itself, ask the user to install the app and share from there.

What if the office network blocks video calls?

Meeto can carry the call over TURN on TLS port 443, the same port as ordinary HTTPS traffic, which gets through many restrictive firewalls and proxies. The firewall troubleshooting guide lists what to check on networks with a VPN, a proxy or a strict firewall.

Can we keep a record of how a problem was fixed?

Yes, on Pro or Team. After telling the user, the host can start an AI summary or a recording. The summary lists the steps and action items and exports as Markdown for the ticket; recordings are kept 90 days.
