iGUIDE Virtual Showing allows a host to navigate through an iGUIDE while others (via a link you share) watch remotely. The host's actions will be mirrored on the screens of all participants simultaneously.
This mirroring is for the iGUIDE only and shows nothing else on the host’s computer.
Creating a Virtual Showing

To create an iGUIDE Virtual Showing directly from an iGUIDE, follow the instructions below:
Click the Share button on the iGUIDE.
Click the Virtual Showings link.
Enter your name and click the Login button
Click the Create Virtual Showing button
Click the Share button in the newly created iGUIDE Virtual Showing
Send the URL to anyone you would like to view the showing.

Alternatively, you can go directly to https://show.youriguide.com and create a virtual showing with the following method:
Enter your name and click the Login button (first time only).

NOTE: When you create an iGUIDE Virtual Showing, you will be considered the host and have control of the navigation. The user’s icon in the top right corner of the screen will show the number of participants, and clicking the user icon will show the names of all the participants and the host. Leaving a virtual showing is as simple as closing the iGUIDE Virtual Showing browser window. When the host leaves a message will be displayed to all participants reading “The host has left” and the iGUIDE Virtual Showing is then over. Participants will not have control of the iGUIDE after the host leaves.
