Remote desktop sharing and collaboration via image scanning
Techniques are described for virtual desktop sharing and collaboration by utilizing image scanning and a web server. Upon launch, the virtual desktop client sets up a web server on the client computing device. During a virtual desktop session, the owner of the session provides input indicating that the session should be shared. A QR code is displayed on the client device which is encoded with information identifying the web server. When the QR code is scanned by a collaborator's mobile device, a web browser is launched on the mobile device and the web browser connects to the web server on the client computing device. The connection is used to transmit the request to access the virtual desktop session by the mobile device. If the session owner approves the request, the virtual desktop GUI data is streamed by the virtual desktop client to the mobile device over the HTTP connection.
