We'd love to chat more on this, please reach out via hello [ at ] coscreen.co and also fill out this form to help us prioritize support for Linux and Windows: https://teamcoscreen.typeform.com/to/IOJ8ql

We do capture overlapping windows separately but we turn them into one video feed with overlaps to save bandwidth and overhead. We might stream windows individually but feel free to reach out directly if you have specific requirements & ideas.

Just give CoScreen a try and let us know what you think. Note that we'll probably also charge for CoScreen one day but we'll do our best to keep it affordable.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll fix that...

Thanks for your feedback, we'll add screenshots more prominently to reduce the wait...

Agreed!

Great idea, we're already looking into educational use cases. Feel free to reach out directly if you want to discuss this further.

Thanks a lot for the helpful data point!

Btw, we've just set up this quick survey to help us prioritize operating systems. Feel free to sign up & we'll keep you in the loop...

Because only one user can do that at a time (sharing as well as remote control afaik) and the others have to watch & listen. With CoScreen, multiple users can share & interact simultaneously or also switch much more quickly between content of each other and interact with it side by side (e.g. Alice's window right next to Bob's window).

The interactivity that multiple users can share & control at the same time and also that it takes just one step to connect. But obviously CoScreen is meant for everyone & every use case, it works best for teams that collaborate again and again with the same group of peers.

Thank you, /almost/ there ;)

Thanks for your feedback. We'll needed to get the general concept across first as it's tough to explain our approach without showing both sides. Input & ideas welcome!

But here's the part of the video that shows the app (note: Linux & Windows isn't released yet, but you can see exactly how it works for an individual user) https://youtu.be/gHI5-ne2F2I?t=53

Will do, most details were actually covered on our support page (https://support.coscreen.co/) and we didn't want to overload the homepage with too many details but we're learning & iterating all the time so thanks for your feedback!

We hear you and will prioritize this. Some remote desktop and virtual desktop solutions enable you to choose local or remote clipboards through a slight tweak of the traditional/locally applied shortcuts (e.g. Command + V), we'll check this out as well.

Thanks for the hint!

This could theoretically happen but you can also choose to stay passive/appear offline with a touch a button and if you are online/sharing you can see a faint glowing border & hint around the specific display. We've already considered to use other clues to help and will look into this, great feedback!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks both. In corporate environments we've seen more software developers who have a Mac with multiple screens (often one of them vertical for code) than with just one. But we were unable to find any reliable stats and it's an ongoing debate in how far multiple screens (vs. just hire resolutions/more pixels on one screen actually improve performance - see https://lifehacker.com/is-the-multiple-monitor-productivity-....

In any case, CoScreen also works great with just one screen and you can share/unshare with a single tap of a button.

UPDATE 3: The OS survey link doesn't seem to work on some platforms, please use use the full link: https://teamcoscreen.typeform.com/to/IOJ8ql

Thanks for the historic context ;)

Edit: + Stats from the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019

Windows: 47.5% MacOS: 26.8% Linux-based: 25.6%

Source: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-...

Thanks for the hint. It works for me on Chrome and Firefox but not on Safari for some weird reason. Here's the full link: https://teamcoscreen.typeform.com/to/IOJ8ql

(Incidentally the issue hopefully only affects Mac/Safari users while the survey is focused on non-Mac users anyway)

UPDATE 1: Thanks so, so much for the huge interest & valuable feedback, please keep it coming!

Here's a quick form for the many folks interested in Windows & Linux support, please help us prioritize: https://shorturl.at/koJX3

UPDATE 2: As mentioned further below, we're also on Product Hunt today - check it out (and let's beat the boring marketing apps): https://www.producthunt.com/posts/coscreen

Hey both, we were overwhelmed by the interest (and therefore also wrt. requests for Windows & Linux support) but we've just set up this form to help us prioritize the next platform CoScreen should run on: https://shorturl.at/koJX3

Here's a quick form where you can capture your interest and stay in the loop: https://shorturl.at/koJX3

To follow-up: we'll definitely post on HN once we get there, in the meantime we'd love your feedback on OSes we should support - here's a quick poll: https://shorturl.at/koJX3

Sorry for that - we've just set up this form to gather interest & get feedback on which OS to prioritize next: https://shorturl.at/koJX3

Please fill it out and you'll hear from us!

Sorry for the delay - here's the preorder form ;)

(It's actually meant to help us prioritize, thanks in advance for your feedback!)

Btw, we've just set up this form to get quick feedback which operating system we should support next - please help us prioritize! https://shorturl.at/koJX3

Hi there, we're capturing windows at the client, send them across through our video bridge (to get through proxies & firewalls and scale beyond 2+ users per channel) and then the windows are shown on the remote end. We don't store any shared windows, videos, images, or audio data. We only capture anonymized usage stats to get an idea what we need to optimize for (e.g. # of sessions and users per session).

Our security concept was recently approved after an extensive vendor risk assessment by a large global enterprise. This is a positive indication but obviously don't hesitate to drop us a mail if you want to discuss specific requirements!
