Re: [Avid-L2] Avid offering free 90 day subscriptions so folks can work from home.

The Skype screen-sharing options work well for this, depending on your connection. If you're working a dual-monitor setup, you can turn off your hardware display and send MC into full-screen mode, with your output on one monitor and your timeline in the other monitor. Screen-share the output monitor and you're good to go.

Theoretically you can also use NDI Tools. In that case, make sure you installed the NDI tools when you installed MC. When you run Skype, NDI should be one of the source banks for the screen-sharing options. I say theoretically because I tried it a few years back and couldn't get it to work. But I haven't tried it recently.

If you're on Windows and need to use multiple audio sources with Skype, try the Voicemeeter virtual audio mixer. I've found it very useful.

Talking about this, I was wondering what are the options for screen sharing?
There are times when I need to work with the director, trying things in real time as if we were together, so I'd like to be able to show him my monitor output. TeamViewer doesn't send sound, so that's out. I could skype/facetime and point the camera at the monitor, but it's not ideal even with a pretty good internet connexion. Any suggestions?
