## 4. Watching a shared screen
|

|

This Windows build can watch a screen shared by someone using PeerSpeak on
|
||||
Linux. Install [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/) (or mpv) first. When someone
|
||||
starts sharing, click **Watch** next to their name; the shared desktop opens in
|
||||
the player.

Starting your own screen share from Windows is not available yet. The Windows

build labels that control **Sharing unavailable** while keeping Watch enabled.
