Cobrowsing with the Chrome extension
Interactive screen sharing
While on a call, sometimes you need to share a website or share the progress of your webapp. One traditional way to do this is using the screen sharing feature, but that's not interactive. You need to be dictating what the other people should be doing, etc. That's too hard.
Cobrowsing allows you to share any open website and people that are talking to you can browse and interact with that website. They can click, scroll, type and you will be able to see each other's cursors. If they click on something, the page will change for everybody. It's like screen sharing, but interactive.
By the way, the website is only shared P2P and encrypted with the call participants. Cobrowsing is achieved with the Duckly extension for the Chrome browser and you can use for free on Duckly.
