This seems promising! One thing that confused me initially was that your video made it seem like a second monitor was necessary. Had to go to your FAQ to find out that you can share individual screens. Will definitely give this a shot.

Thanks for your feedback, we will definitely make it more prominent that single monitor use is definitely a viable use case.

The best experience is definitely with a secondary monitor, that was the original conception of the product, but we have a model of tab-based sharing, and a mechanism to hide windows of specific users, as well as focus the windows of a specific user (click their profile picture), that have made interacting with it on a single monitor a lot more intuitive and nice.

Many of our developers use it exclusively with a single monitor.

Adding to Jason's comment - check out this video that shows a live demo with the single display scenario and individual window sharing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=054wVitjVJ0

OP here - CoScreen offers multi-user screen sharing and simultaneous remote control for engineering teams like no other solution out there. After the awesome reception on HN a year ago, we're super excited to announce our completely newly designed & developed v1.0 release of CoScreen for macOS and our private alpha for Windows. Check it out here: https://coscreen.co [1] Problem: Today's video chat solutions are great…

Are you able to give any rough indication of when a Linux client might be available? Are we talking months, years etc?

Also do you have a pricing strategy in mind yet for when this moves out of beta? (Sorry if I missed that on the site)

I'd say that Q2 2021 for Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu) is a fair estimate at this point.

We're still figuring things out wrt pricing, but will always offer an affordable option similar to what Slack and Zoom have.

How does this compare on features with alternatives?

Hi, eng from the CoScreen team here. Our focus is to allow sharing individual applications not an entire screen. This allows multiple people to concurrently share and have access to all shared apps. In a way it is similar to "Seamless Windows" in Virtualbox - you see and have control over embedded windows from remote machines.
