This is pretty neat, yearning for Linux though. That said, why is datadog going this route? Maybe their more recent incident management stuff?

100%! Incident response is one of our key use cases as many of our users connect on CoScreen to debug and solve complex issues using different Datadog products and other dev tools. Please drop your name on the waitlist for Linux and we'll follow-up!

Interesting - I had not come across coscreen before but I can see straight away how much better that would have been to use than any of slack, teams or discord all of which I’ve used previously for pair programming/on boarding etc. I could see value here also in brainstorming sessions where previously collaborating on a google doc etc. I haven’t delved into what the pricing model is but presumably it won’t be free fo…

Thanks for the kind words, glad it was useful.

Looks cool, but how is this better / different from just doing this on Zoom? I'm already using zoom daily for meetings and occasionally use screen sharing and once in a while use their "request screen control" feature, and it works great. No complaints, and no new tool needed in addition to my regular video meeting tool.

Not at all hating on this tool. It really looks nice, but I'm just trying to understand if there is a reason to use it instead of / in addition to zoom.

Pairing programming.

If pairing is a huge part of your culture at work, the higher resolution screen sharing makes all the difference as you don’t have to squint or strain your eyes while reading code.

Thanks for the feedback. We have a few Zoom-converts and here's what they've told us they like about CoScreen: 1. Every user has their own mouse pointer instead of sharing the same. 2. You can share bi-directionally, so not just one at a time. 3. More importantly, if I share two or three windows with you, they appear as three separate native windows for you and you can resize and position them as you like without interfering with me instead of being stuck in a black box.
