Copilot is Closing
Hi,
I'm Tyler, owner and founding member of Copilot.
Copilot was originally built by a team of interns in 2005 at Fog Creek Software in New York City. I was one of those interns. In 2014, Copilot became its own company and relocated, with me, to Denver, Colorado. For the past 8 years, I have been running it independently, providing people all over the world with simple, effective screen sharing.
However, this past year, it has become clear that Copilot is no longer providing the level of service that I would like it to. After much thought, I have decided it is time to shut Copilot down. The reasons are simple: Technology is changing rapidly, and as an independent software vendor, I am no longer able to keep up with those changes, while maintaining compatibility with the older systems that so frequently need support.
The Good News
Because user experience is a key factor in closing Copilot down, shutting it down without an alternative was never an option. So I set about trying to find another company who offers similar services to partner with, to continue giving Copilot users a great screen sharing service.
To that end, Copilot has chosen HelpDesk by RemotePC¹ to provide future screen sharing services. I've spoken with the team at RemotePC and trialed their software extensively. I'm confident it will meet and exceed your needs.
As a bonus, they're offering Copilot users 95% off the first year, meaning that you will get HelpDesk for a full year for just $24.98, with unlimited users and computers. Or, if you just want to kick the tires, you can try it free for 7 days. Sign up here.¹
How It Will Happen
Copilot's servers will remain operational until May 1, 2022, and your account will continue to be active until that time. On May 1, all services will cease and all remaining subscriptions will be ended. For those who choose to move to HelpDesk by RemotePC, your account will be canceled automatically when you sign up for a paid account. As always, you can cancel your Copilot account at any time on your account page² or you can email support@copilot.com with any other questions or concerns.
Thank You
I want to thank everyone who has used Copilot over the years. It's been my privilege to be a part of Copilot from the beginning and to hear how many people it has helped over the years. Truly, thank you.
