Interesting! Something pretty similar to what enable at https://www.surfly.com the difference is that we focus more on B2B types of integrations and stream the actual DOM instead of a WebRTC videostream. Good luck!

Thank you!

Is there a tutorial that I can check out to understand this better?

If you're looking for a demo of the API specifically, you can check out the demo video on https://hyperbeam.dev . If you're looking to try out the embedded web browsers, you can check out our watch party site https://hyperbeam.com , create an account, create a room, and then start up a multiplayer web browser! However, it only shows off a subset of the functionality of the API. Finally, you can view our API documenta…

Awesome thanks ya'll. Cool product. My immediate thought is to use it to watch NBA games with friends who aren't in my city.

Going to poke around a bit and see what else I can do.

We would love an API key at https://color.museum to experiment with using Hyperbeam to enable collaborative art (ie. through our https://color.museum/gallery ) Looking forward to it! Thank you.

We sent an API key! Feel free to email us at founders@hyperbeam.com if you need anything else.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> indeed, that's an advantage of your approach over screen sharing. In what way, particularly? it's streaming the video and audio from a remote browser instance, so surely that means all participants will have the same accessibility settings in the remotely viewed instance.

Yes, that's true today. But since they're running a version of Chromium that they control, they can in principle modify it to push semantic information from the Chromium accessibility implementation along with the video stream. That would be much harder for, say, Zoom screen sharing to do, because of the way the platform accessibility APIs are designed.

Ahh -- I see. Informative answer, thank you :-)
