This is one thing I'm surprised the open source community hasn't developed a popular alternative for: Teamviewer. The core idea is simple: a video stream from one computer to another, with mouse and keyboard controls sent the other way. Connection negotiation can be done Magic Wormhole style, via basic STUN, encryption can be done in a number of ways. Add some clipboard and P2P file transfer features and you've got m…

Am I the only one that has long since given up traditional desktop streaming software like TeamViewer/AnyDesk and the like for game streaming software (Parsec, Rainway, Steam Remote Play, etc) that just happen to offer desktop streaming because they can? The actual streaming tech in those feels worlds ahead in terms of quality/efficiency/stability/latency. And the UX has generally felt better as well with much more s…
I think the difference is that Teamviewer/AnyDesk is intended mostly for corporate usage. Their software is optimised for images that are mostly static, letting them get away with much less bandwidth without making text blurry or illegible. Standard H.264/H.265 encoded video needs sharpening and extra filters to be both low bandwidth and legible in many cases. Parsec and friends use more bandwidth and hardware resour…

All the rest seem to copy the terrible design of on demand code signing and that doesn’t work. If you get an EV certificate for instant SmartScreen reputation the key is on a HSM. If you get an OV certificate that is easier to automate with you need to build SmartScreen reputation which is brutal.
The RuskDesk project mentioned below was the most interesting to me. It’s a small executable and works pretty good. That’s enough to tell me that someone should be able to build a great product if they have instant support executables signed with an EV certificate.
What it comes down to though is that everyone needs their own code signing certificate or someone needs to run a matchmaking service. I’m sure you could build something that works well with Cloudflare Workers/KV by sending hashed (+salted) IDs to a matchmaking Worker. When a customer reads me the ID I know the secret and can tell the matchmaker “here’s the secret, please redirect the client to my self hosted server, relay, etc. at support.example.com.”
Also, Screego is another interesting project to check out.

What does the open source angle add to compete with the existing offerings? From what I can tell they are free for personal use and businesses pay, as you suggest. I’m not too familiar with these products.
@mp85, I don't think your MIT license is compatible with AForge.NET's LGPL license. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm guessing your license should also become LGPL.
