Collaborating On An Excel File

Question

Here's a scenario where presenters need to collaborate on an Excel file. The meeting host is sharing an Excel worksheet in the Share pod from his/her desktop and wants all "Presenters" in the meeting room to be able to collaborate on the worksheet. All the presenters should be able to add/ modify data in the worksheet for collaboration during the meeting.
How does Request Screen Share function work? If all the Presenters are made Hosts in the meeting and they Request Screen Share from the person who has the File open on the desktop, would that work? Can multiple Hosts Request Share Screen of one Host in the meeting and then be able to collaborate on a document such as Excel worksheet? Or there an easier way to do this?
This is rather urgent for a meeting today.
Thanks very much if someone has an answer.

Answer 1

The following may address your problem, albeit in a slightly different way. For such requirements in the future, see if the following works.
From what I understand, you want multiple people collaborating on a spreadsheet and simultaneously sharing a view of the spreadsheet in Connect for everyone to see. (Why else would you use Connect to broadcast the sheet?! :-) )
How about using a spreadsheet on acrobat.com? These support simultaneous editing by multiple folks.
One of the hosts/presenters can open the spreadsheet in a browser and share it in the Connect room for everyone to see the spreadsheet.
Of course, this does away with the need to pass on the control to anyone else for updating the spreadsheet.
