Streaming software to one person

[Swi1ch]

Perhaps an unusual request, I'm looking for some software/service with which I can stream my screen to a single person. Using xsplit+twitch/own3d is not useful to me in this case as the stream delay (Pushing 10 seconds sometimes) is way too much. Software like teamviewer is too low quality and has awful framerates.

Any suggestions?

Edit.

The best we've achieved so far is by setting up a webcam focused on the screen and sending it through skype. The quality is marginal, but the delay and framerate are fine. I would have thought if it works fine using a webcam of all things, there must be a reasonable way to achieve this with the computer itself.

You can choose the quality of the display in Teamviewer. I suspect it's set to auto and is dropping it down to accommodate the connection speed between the 2 PC's.

VNC of some flavour (Ultra VNC was always my preference) might also be the ticket with plenty of options to configure for quality and also whether the guest can control your system or just view it.

Are you both on the same network or is it over the internet? If it's over the internet then I wouldn't expect the frame rate to be amazingly quick

Why do you do it via webcam when on Skype? Skype has a feature to share your screen to whoever you are chatting to. Should be a bit better than using a webcam focused at your screen.

the Skype screen sharing feature is quite a low FPS, good for sharing PowerPoint presentations but not so great for other stuff

Over the internet. Teamviewer is just not cutting it, the framerate is so low that I'm able to see the image refreshing from the top down.

Skype screenshare fares about the same. Actually using the webcam to record the screen is the only way i've found so far to get a reasonable framerate with minimal delay.

RealVNC... No?

VNC had a similar result to Teamviewer.

Edit.

Essentially, my friend has a machine capable of streaming in very high quality through xsplit on twitch TV, but twitch has a delay of about 5 seconds that we need to negate. He's tried using xsplit to send through skype, but skype hyper compresses it for some reason. Processing power for recording/compressing/sending is more than adequate, we just can't figure out a way to send the data between just the two of us.

Webex?

Maybe look at Windows Media Encoder assuming it will allow you to capture the screen ( if not there is 3rd party screen capture software that will show up as a webcam in windows that may work with it of even Skype)? That will do a similar job to xshare I believe and may give more options to narrow down the delay in action happening to seeing it on the live stream
