Standard situation: My wife is on skype with her parents. Something on the other end doesn't work. They discuss for 20 minutes before my wife even knows what the issue is.
What we need is a plugin for pidgin, skype, adium and others that allows someone to take a screenshot with one button. A preview would then pop up and the user could touch (or click on) the region where the issue is. The screenshot would then be sent through and displayed on the other end.
My stepmother would push the button, click on the area of the screenshot and my wife would then see the screenshot with an enlarged set-in.
Alternatively, my wife could hit a button and the screenshot would be requested on my stepmother's machine.
Would be a life saver. Or at least a good time saver.

i completely agree with you, for anyone that is an expert on computers and works with them, this is an amazing component. saldy, the propietary and non-free Lotus Sametime does this and it does it well :-/ I have not come across any other IM app that does this.
ReplyDeleteI think this has been solved now.
ReplyDeleteSkype allows me to share my screen, and it is easy enough for me to explain to my mother how to do it.
One down, many to go.
