As a former and early Screenhero adopter, I'm not sure why they had sold to Slack and have now come back with the same, if not a worse reincarnation of Screenhero.

At least they have Linux support this time since Screenhero and Slack repeatedly refused to port Screenhero to Linux. But again, having no web support would reduce the friction for new users having to install something rather than downloading a specific electron app.




Could you elaborate on why you think this is a worse reincarnation of Screenhero? Are there specific features we’re missing?

Also, there is no way to make a web app that does what Screen does. If there were, we’d have built a purely web-based app.

With Screen’s desktop app, you can share your screen TO someone on the web, but they need the app to share their screen, since multiplayer drawing and control can’t be done otherwise.


As a freelancer on Upwork I share my screen to my customers and they share their screen to me in parallel solely using Upwork web based application. Allows us to view each other screens, talk and share camera - all of this just by web. So there is a way to do that, you might want to look at them to see this is possible from web
