If anyone from screenhero is reading:

I love screenhero and use it all the time but the one feature I need the team to add is the ability to disable another people's control of my screen. I think this feature is useful, but sometimes I'm giving a demo and just dont need it (or want it). I have fucked up multiple demos because someone accidentally clicked off my browser tab while I was controlling the screen.




I loved using screenhero with my team... waited forever for a Linux build to come but was sad when Slack bought them out and the port was never brought to fruition.


They aren't working on Screenhero anymore.


That is really sad. I like SH waaaaaay more than I like slack (which to me is a passable but not great chat app.. it eats my RAM and CPU and sometimes the css formatting breaks....) and use it all the time for remote pair programming.


If you are just giving demo, why not use Google hangout?


Google Hangouts eats batteries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.


Google Hangouts uses so much chrome, it is very hard to see on a laptop screen.


You've a few choices: 1. F11/Fullscreen 2. /usr/bin/chromium --app="https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/shiftgig.com?authuser...

The latter opens a chrome-less hangouts window. 100% hangouts.


You can get rid of most of the ui, but it's not very intuitive.

First click on the little upwards arrow on the person who's sharing in the bottom right corner.

Then the toolbar (the thing that appears in the top center of the screen when moving the mouse) gains an extra icon on the left which collapses everything.


Does Screen Hero need a plugin to run tho?
