Does that make more sense now?
Just to back Rob up, here - I do this. My gameplay is remote (and has been for a few years now, predating Realm Works). My players all have Player Edition, but for live updates I use Player View shared over Skype. It works perfectly, and has the added advantage of GM control - you, the GM, control what the players see at any time, so they're not seeing things which are unnecessary.

In fact, my biggest peeve about online gaming is that I can't get Syrinscape sound streamed to my players easily.
