How to monitor a windows computer screen
Since the lockdown resulted from the corona measures, more and more parents have faced the challenge that children tend to look at YouTube during homeschooling instead of following the teacher's explanations. The complete control of the PC with spy
software is not what parents want because that means monitoring the children too much
and invading their privacy too much. But companies are also asking themselves how
employees in the home office can be better monitored without collecting all the
employee's information.
It is best not to record everything that a user does on the computer. It would be better to take a discreet look at the PC screen from time to time. That is very easy.
to do:
Some programs allow you to see the live PC screen as if you were sitting in front of the computer yourself. It works similarly to Teamviewer - but discreetly and without the user having to consent to screen sharing.
The software is called Wolfeye Remote Screen and runs in the background. You can then see
the live screen of the computer with the help of any browser (i.e., remotely, so to speak) as if
you were in front of the PC:

Thats how it works:
To set up Wolfeye Remote Screen, you have to do 4 steps:
1. Before downloading
The first step begins before the download: Then, you have to select the download /
installation folder and put it in the exception list of the antivirus program. Because Wolfeye
Remote Screen is a surveillance software and therefore works like a hacking tool. For this reason, antivirus programs see the application as suspicious.
However, it is sufficient if you just put the folder into which you will copy the application in the exception list because the application only operates within this folder and does not copy anything anywhere else; when choosing this folder, you must choose a folder to which every PC user has to write access so that any user can be monitored with the application. Examples of such
folders are:
C:\Users\Public\Pictures
C:\Users\Public\Documents
C:\Users\Public\Music
C:\Users\Public\Videos
A folder with an inconspicuous name can be created in this folder, into which you will download Wolfeye Remote Screen. An example of such an inconspicuous name: win update.
This folder must now be added to the antivirus exception list. The video demonstrates how
to add the folder to the exception list:

2. Download
Load the program directly into the previously defined win update folder, which you have already set in the exception list of your antivirus program. The program is packed in a zip file.
3. Extract the zip file extract / unzip the program (right mouse -> extract all). The password for unpacking the zip
file is wolf eye. Now you can start the software, and the control window will open:
4. Set up Wolfeye Remote Screen
SHARE SCREEN
Click the button to share the screen or start recording.
OPEN URL - EMAIL URL
Click the "Open URL" button to open the URL link that will allow you to see the live computer screen in the browser. The screen is updated every 3-5 seconds. You can send this link to
your email using the "Email URL" button so that you can see the live screen from another PC.
