Deploying a Preinstalled ScreenMeet Client
Introduction
Deploy the ScreenMeet desktop client for Windows, MacOS, and Linux in a preinstalled configuration so employees can enter support codes without downloading the on-demand client.
Upgrade Requirement
If upgrading from a client version below 2.61.6, uninstall the previous version before installing the new client.
Client Downloads
The links below always provide the most up-to-date version of the ScreenMeet application for each platform.
Operating System | File Type | Download Link |
|---|---|---|
Windows | MSI | |
MacOS | PKG | |
Linux (Debian-based) | DEB |
Windows Deployment
The Windows MSI can optionally install the Beam service for unattended remote control. Use the command-line to tailor installation and behavior.
Beam Feature Licensing
The Beam feature is ScreenMeet's unattended remote access tool. It is only applicable if your organization has purchased the appropriate Beam licensing. Customers without this licensing should omit BeamFeature and all related parameters from deployment commands.
