#3We're daily SH users, and the voice chat still feels leaps and bounds ahead of anything else (Slack, Zoom, Chime, etc). Inevitable sunsetting, but sad.

#4So I suppose that means Screenhero won't be available outside of Slack anymore? I always found it useful as a stand-alone app when you wanted to let somebody control your screen that is not on Slack. Anyone have good alternatives for that?

#6Really disappointing news, rolling Screenhero into Slack doesn't solve the same problem at all.
I work for myself and have a large contact list of people who don't know each other who I often pair with or screenshare with. With Slack, there's really no way for me to create the same setup.
I'd need to create a new team called "Adam's Screenhero Contacts", invite all of my contacts (who don't know each other) to be part of this "team" together, and I'd have to foot the bill for the whole team since there's no way for each individual to pay for their own Slack account.
Is there a viable Screenhero alternative out there yet?

#7Screenhero is hands down the best (smoothest) screen sharing app I've ever used.
It's bittersweet to see them acquired by Slack as a paid only feature, but I'm happy for the team and it seems like a very ideal kind of acquisition where they solve a problem Slack has and wasn't solving well, and then Slack can scale the Screenhero userbase overnight.
Edit: I just tried this feature in Slack with /call then enabling others to edit and it didn't seem to be as smooth as the usual Screenhero experience. I wonder if something was changed in the integration.

Its a real bummer, I would much rather pay for Screenhero standalone than integrated into Slack.

zoom.us allows remote controls, it worked fine the couple of times I've used it.

They can't take control of your screen but I like https://appear.in/
