Also see Pop (pop.com). I’ve used it extensively in the past, and have loved it. It’s currently free, works very well, and has a very responsive team.

Yes, it works well, but the only reason we used it instead of Tuple was that it's free right now. Tuple's pricing is rather absurd ($25/user/mo.) unless your org pairs so often you can justify it on the basis of 40 hour/week use. Pop's free tier lets us pop on actual controlled sharing when simple screen sharing isn't enough.

I hear you. We're pricey. Just curious – what would a workable price/model been for you?

I have nothing but the highest praise for Tuple, it blows all the other tools in this space out of the water. Used it for several months while working on a compilers project back in college, and over many many hours of usage it was rock solid. The latency is so low you practically feel like you’re in the same room as the person you’re communicating with. And the UI/UX is very thoughtful and intuitive, making it easy…

This looks cool, but I don't use proprietary operating systems for my work environments. Is there any planned support for X11 or Wayland based desktop environments?
