This page describes the scenario where you want to share an RDP screen with another person (professor/TA for example) to seek assistance. This can be confusing as you are simultaneously working on two computers - yours and the remote computer. If you run zoom on the wrong computer then you can have bad performance.

This description assumes that:

• You are logged into your own laptop or PC/Mac
• You have connected to a remote lab computer at the University via RDP as per https://www.uregina.ca/is/common/ur/labs/remote-access.html

Before proceeding ensure you are able to tell the difference between whether your screen is showing your desktop or the remote desktop and how to switch between the two. Typically the desktop on the remote computer will have different icons than your desktop. If you require assistance please contact https://www.uregina.ca/is/contact/index.html
