#52As someone else mentioned, they are finally doing some more with their purchase of Screen Hero most likely. However, one major feature that Screen Hero had that I don't _THINK_ this new screen sharing built in Slack has, is the ability for the other person to control the mouse/keyboard on your screen. I could be wrong, but if that is the case it's a huge feature missing. That was one of my favorite things that Screen…
If anyone from screenhero is reading: I love screenhero and use it all the time but the one feature I need the team to add is the ability to disable another people's control of my screen. I think this feature is useful, but sometimes I'm giving a demo and just dont need it (or want it). I have fucked up multiple demos because someone accidentally clicked off my browser tab while I was controlling the screen.

#53People evoke a lot of love for Screen Hero and I can never figure out why. Video quality is pretty awful and pixellated.
I don't see a single feature in Screen Hero that isn't in the other ones and the other ones have many more features that I use.

#54I start sessions from within slack and i can search in past sessions because everything is indexed It's like slack for video.
I can also contextualize existing video recordings from YouTube and Vimeo but also from direct mp4 and mp3 urls
Sharing and mentioning make meetings social.

Whooosh
Yes... not the only one though. Not a very obvious joke. Also, just checked slack on my Mac: 38MB memory usage, 4 open groups and many channels. So, not a good joke either?
Mac: currently using 620MB
Windows: currently using 340MB

That was basically the entire point of Screen Hero. So I hope this is only the first step in integration with Slack.
I was blown away when it got axed so fast. The multi-mouse capability was the coolest thing and made the tool fit my needs like none had before. It's the best!
I get to use ScreenHero on the rare occasion these days, and it's still a joy every time. I want to use it for every screen share.
Having support for personal and Slack accounts within ScreenHero would be amazing.

#58I use https://www.acrossio.com because they record the video chat and the screensharing directly in the cloud. The best feature is that they bookmark moments and tasks while they record and you can play back the sessions from the bookmark I start sessions from within slack and i can search in past sessions because everything is indexed It's like slack for video.

#59We're a Microsoft shop so we use Skype for Business, which seems to work well for talk/IM/screen sharing. Now we're getting "Teams" to be slacker. I'd be curious to hear how the Slack video/screen sharing compares to Skype Business, after a rocky start it's working pretty smoothly for us now.
We're doing the same thing. I want to use Slack but we're going with Teams for cost reasons (included in o365). I've never had any problems with screen sharing with skype for business.
I can't stand Skype For Business (Lync) - half of the time copying+pasting in and out of messages fails and or messages are too long.
I would even prefer slack over this.
Re: Screen sharing comes to Slack video calls
#60I worry that this could cause Slack to use a lot of memory.
Why? If you aren't using the feature why would it cause your slack instance to use more memory?
