Videos

  • As short as you can. Around 2 minutes to maximum 4 minutes.
  • Avoid showing copyrighted and distracting content, even custom/other desktop icons should not be shown.

Videos demonstrating different ways to use Remmina, the more the merrier! The original video is needed, as it will be uploaded to video streaming services, if you need support let us know. These would make good topics for videos:

  • Configuration and use of a basic RDP profile, quickly showing the most common controls (resizes, toolbar placement, screenshots, …).
  • Creation of a default profile.
  • Cration of and connection to a VNC server.
  • Using a basic SSH tunnel.
