Thanks for the feedback. We have a few Zoom-converts and here's what they've told us they like about CoScreen: 1. Every user has their own mouse pointer instead of sharing the same. 2. You can share bi-directionally, so not just one at a time. 3. More importantly, if I share two or three windows with you, they appear as three separate native windows for you and you can resize and position them as you like without interfering with me instead of being stuck in a black box.

> and you can resize and position them as you like without interfering with me

Does this resize the window only locally, like scaling a video? If somebody shared a browser window with me demonstrating a responsive web site, could I drag the bottom right corner of the window around to see how the site reflows?

Yes, you're pretty much scaling the video while retaining its aspect ratio. We're doing that so users can't interfere with each other's setup (it was different early on and annoying).
