Open the Ubuntu dash and search for Desktop Sharing, then click on the icon

Or if you prefer, type vino-preferences in a terminal.

Yes it should be installed by default.

    vino-preferences: command not found yet when I try to install it, vino is already the newest version (3.22.0-3ubuntu1) – endolith Dec 09 '18 at 21:54

Open a terminal and execute the following command to search your currently installed packages:

dpkg -l |  egrep -i 'vnc|vino'
