Can VNC server be put into a read-only mode

Question

I want to use VNC for classroom training purposes. so I want multiple users (students) to be able to view my shared desktop, but I only want them to view. ie not change anything. I had a look sat the VNC docs but couldn't see anything obvious.

With RealVNC, there are tick boxes under the "Inputs" tab of the server properties that you can uncheck to prevent input from clients.

• Accept pointer events from clients
• Accept keyboard events from clients
• Accepts clipboard updates from clients
