How are account permissions handled on the host machines that are relinquishing control to outside users?
I mean, what prevents a Malicious user pasting in a devastating command into your terminal if they are running under your privileges? Or a mistaken user copy and pasting a bad command?

#32Looks 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…
I think perhaps this is a little more developer and creatives focussed as opposed to business meeting focussed al la zoom and I suspect and it’s inferred from what they’ve focussed on (optimization, multi screen, 60fps) that this will be more performant than zoom. That said I am yet to try it but zoom is pretty much down there at the bottom of screen sharing tools I would want to use daily…
There wasn’t much mentioned about security but again it’s probably more secure than zoom

#33Do we know how it compares to https://pop.com/?

#34I suppose Wayland would be one of the reasons Linux is held up?
Not sure whether this comment is regarding screen sharing in wayland in general, but this has been working smoothly in most applications for quite some time via xdg-desktop-portal: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.free...
Thanks for sharing, we'll get to it

#35Looks great. Congrats! I’m curious, what is your tech stack for implementing audio and video chat?
We are using WebRTC for both Audio/Video and screen sharing.
The Audio/Video are using VP9 SVC, and are a pretty typical configuration, using Jitsi as the backend.
The screen sharing is accomplished via a combination of libwebrtc and native Rust.

Good question - If you share your window or display on CoScreen, you can decide if you also want to share remote control or not. It’s a global toggle for all the windows you share. Also, only users who have the invite to your CoScreen (and therefore have a secure token to get into it) and are with you in it at that moment, would be able to type into your window if you allowed that.

#37I started to use the product recently and I love the product CoScreen. Still a few bugs but it's definitely better than Zoom to collaborate between developers!
edit: Also, please add Linux support!

#38Hey! This looks awesome! Let me ask I did not see any pricing or any license info on the site. I was wondering what the pricing for this would look like for a team? Are you planning on keeping it free?
Thanks! It's currently free but we're planning to charge for larger teams and enterprise features further down the road. Our current plan: https://coscreen.co/pricing (feedback welcome!)
Honestly the feedback I'd have is the pricing is a bit high. I'm sure you've done the competitive pricing analysis so I'm not going to preach. :) But with the sprawl of tools we already pay for that "get us close" to what coscreen does, it'd be a hard sell to get another tool.

#39I haven't heard about CoScreen last month. But last week we had a team which needed a solution for mob programming and I couldn't find a solution which had enough functionality to meet their expectations.
And now I've seen multiple posts and recommendations in a very short time.
Haven't had the time to test it properly yet, but so far I'm kind of surprised I wasn't recommended or found CoScreen earlier.
Keep up the good work! there needs to be alternatives

Thanks a lot, we've just come out of private beta and the rewrite again so glad you found us now. Let us know how it goes!
