Collaborative Free P2P Screen-Sharing for Macs and PCs with ScreenHero

Robin Good's insight:


ScreenHero is a downloadable app for Windows and Mac computers that allows you to collaborate one-on-one on the same app with someone else at a distance.


ScreenHero has recently added full support for Windows PCs and it now integrates a voice feature allowing you also to talk with the person you are collaborating with.


Your login credentials and session data are fully encrypted using a P2P TLS scheme (SSL based).


ScreenHero operates as a P2P app, allowing parties to hook up directly to one another, and resorting to its centralized servers only when a direct connection is not possible for some reason.


My comment: An excellent screen-sharing tool for distributed teams. If you regularly operate with someone else at a distance and you need to easily and reliably share screens to see and edit drafts, mock-ups, presentations or code, ScreenHero is a great resource.


N.B.: If you are on a PC you will need a recent version of Windows, as PCs with Vista and earlier Windows versions are not supported.


Free version available.

ScreenHero is a new downloadable Mac app (soon for Windows too) which allows you to easily share any app you have installed on your computer with one or more people, who can work on it simultaneously with you.


Key basic features:


  1. Full simultaneous control
  2. One-to-one sharing
  3. Fast, HD quality
  4. Share an application or the entire screen



Advanced features (for paid plans)

  1. Screen-sharing one-to-many
  2. Voice-chat

From the official site: "Screenhero lets you screen share any application with anyone, no matter where they are. It's super simple and blazing fast.


You each get your own mouse pointer, and you're both always in control.


It's designed for collaboration, not just broadcasting your screen. It's like Google Docs for any application on your computer. "



A Windows version is coming soon and you can sign up to be notified when it will be available.

We read Robin Good last week and he's a trustworthy source--he scooped this piece on collaborative screen sharing which seems very pertinent to the topic of online collaboration.  Screen sharing is also something we haven't talked about a lot and that I would like to explore more.
