Congrats on the launch. This looks like one of those great ideas that works so much better than the old way that it feels obvious in hindsight.

I’m curious how you handle different monitor resolutions?

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Great question, CoScreen shows shared windows based on their relative positions and sizes. So they appear in the same way for all participants. If there are huge difference between resolutions, the users will see either very small/large fonts but we still concluded after many prototypes that this is the best tradeoff. Feedback welcome nevertheless...

So what you're saying is, you don't handle different monitor resolutions.

My team is split between people with 4k or even 5k screens and wide-angle screens with lower pixel densities, so this would be an issue. Not sure how common that is, though.

Sorry for the misunderstanding - We do handle the translation of resolutions to create the same layout for everyone. In addition, you can actually pinch zoom into remote windows if necessary.

Got it. Awesome!
