Are there any good open source screen sharing tools with remote control?


I spent hours last night trying to re-enable remote control on Jitsi's electron app with no luck[1]. Are there any other good open source tools out there for remote controlling a friends' computer screen on a call?

RustDesk is generally good, just download it, then get the remote end's ID and password (or have them click Approve) and your in.

TeamViewer is very very expensive!

Does it need to be open source, or just free to use ?

There are a few free tools out there.
