App Description

deskhop® enables you to request control of the computer screens of your Facebook friends anytime, anywhere, and for free!

While you're sharing a screen, it’s as though you’re sitting down in front of a computer together with your friend. You could:

* Troubleshoot a technical problem
* Collaborate on a document
* Edit a picture
* Watch a slideshow
* And lots more!

===How to control a computer===

When you connect, your finger moves the mouse cursor rather than clicking where you touch, as you might expect with a touchscreen. While this may seem counter-intuitive at first, you’ll soon appreciate the fine-grained control it gives you of a high-resolution computer desktop (especially from the small screen of a phone!)

Mouse operations are performed by gestures. So to double-click, position the mouse cursor appropriately and then tap the screen twice. To see which gestures we’ve mapped to other click, drag, and scroll operations, tap [?] on the toolbar to open the help.

To type, open the keyboard from the toolbar. Function and other special keys (such as Ctrl, Alt, Delete, and the Cmd key on a Mac) are available from a sliding bar above the keyboard.

Enjoy using deskhop!
