OP here, we believe that the time has come to let remote workers and highly agile teams get stuff done together in a very different and much more natural way. CoScreen is a remote collaboration tool that enables exactly that. Problem: Pretty much anyone who has ever worked remotely knows it - today’s remote collaboration solutions provide much better screensharing quality and reliability (thanks, Zoom) compared to a…

Not even remote. As a nontech worker its unbelievably helpful in a shared office too. I used to have a big screen tv and 2 keyboards and wireless mice at a coffee table in my office for just this problem, and a crazy (for normal humans) hdmi splitting setup that allowed for a byod of sorts. Great idea!

My initial reaction was, “no, there was no video on that page,” so I went back to look. A lot of browsers disable audio on auto play videos. The fact that the controls are also hidden and the background color being the same as the website, it just looks like an animation, not a video. So some icons move but the meat of the video doesn’t start until after people will have disengaged.

We're capturing them natively and are working on another major performance improvement which should make it at least as efficient as other major solutions.

Are there other solutions that capture multiple windows at once? I’m only familiar with typical screensharing where the use case is either full screen or a single window. The way I understand you, coscreen captures each window shown individually. Doesn’t that also mean that overlapping windows are captured in full? I can’t try it out atm so perhaps if you could leave a comment on cpu usage for encoding as well as ban…

I wanted to know what this is but was not able to read the text because somebody had the idea that text on a website should be extremely thin and low contrast. The idea of making your text as hard as possible to read is a very bad one.
