What is Live Screen Monitoring?

Live screen monitoring lets you watch a user’s Windows desktop in real time via a web browser – without remote-controlling it. Wolfeye’s agent streams the screen securely to your dashboard, so you can check productivity or coach teammates without joining a call or asking for screenshots.
