Users have found it incredibly helpful for explaining and demonstrating tasks to remote team members, reducing the time and effort required. The tool is commonly utilized for screen sharing during product training, bug replication, and inter-team meetings. In particular, it has been invaluable in demonstrating and replicating bugs encountered while using the product, facilitating faster bug fixes. By integrating with Slack for video calling and communication among team members, Screenhero provides a seamless experience for sharing screens and providing visual assistance, which is highly beneficial for workflows and clarifying messages. This software is extensively used in engineering departments and other teams within organizations as it allows for screen sharing and collaboration without physical proximity, making it convenient for remote engineers and separate offices.

ScreenHero!
ScreenHero is used in addition to Slack to communicate with team members via video calling. We use this across all teams and the usage of ScreenHero has allowed for quick impromptu video calls to create more clarity on slack messages. The ability to share screens is very beneficial as well when assisting others through workflows or creating more visuals.
- Screen sharing is game changing!
- Easy to use while integrated with Slack.
- Quick and reliable.
- Sometimes there is too much buffering.
- Wish you could schedule calls.
- Wish you could record calls.
- Easier way to have conversations! It's quick and simple.
- Skip the toneless slack conversation and hash it out over ScreenHero!
- Screen sharing has been very beneficial.
- Highfive and Zoom
ScreenHero integrates with Slack and that's awesome! While ScreenHero isn't quite the same as Zoom or Highfive, it's surely more casual. It's great for a quick call to explain something to another rep in the office. There aren't as many scheduling options in ScreenHero, but still, it gets the job done.

Screenhero - Great for what it offers
Screenhero was our go-to screen sharing service to connect with remote teammates revolving around product training, bug replication (especially with different browser behaviors - I'm looking at you Internet Explorer), and quick inter-team meetings. I primarily used it to connect with our engineering team to help demonstrate and replicate bugs I encountered while using our own product to help facilitate a speedier fix time.
- EASY! A simply to use and understand UI cannot be understated. I needed no additional training and did not need to reference and support documentation to pick up and use Screenhero with my team. It's easy to add new folks to connect with, easy to call them, easy to end the call, and so forth. I would liken the UI to a more sleek Yahoo Instant Messenger (for those who remember that service!).
- Painless. I rarely ever had connectivity issues or grainy audio/video quality. When I did occasionally encounter that (rough guess maybe 1 in 20), it usually cleared itself up after a few seconds. I think it's only ever "locked up" on me twice, meaning I had to disconnect and reconnect in order for the issue to be resolved. Overall, a painless experience.
- Screenhero never felt very all-inclusive; it was only ever used by our team for screen sharing. Our team still needs an organized text communication platform (Slack), email (G suites), bug reporting, internal documentation reporting, and so on. We actually recently fully switched from using Screenhero to using Slack screen sharing services to reduce software friction.
- There is a reason why services like Skype, GoToMeeting, and Join.me are more popular for screen sharing. They offer more integrations, higher functionality, enterprise services, links to invite callers from outside of your network, etc. Screenhero does one thing and really just does that one thing well. But, I do not believe it does that one thing well enough to cover the needs of a growing organization. We effectively hit a point as a company where Screenhero was not a longterm viable solution.
- For a while, Screenhero solved issues with cross-country quick team communication. Emphasis on "quick." We already used other services like High-Five to host actual meetings, Screenhero served with all of our impromptu meetings and 1-on-1 communication. This had a positive impact on our team (but, as stated earlier, we use Slack screen sharing now to solve this problem).
We originally chose Screenhero for ease of use as a quick solution to inter-team communication for teams separated by physical distance (cross country and in different offices).
However:
-Screenhero does not have a way to link up outside callers like Join.me and GoToMeeting have
-Screenhero is not a catalogued internal chat communication platform like Slack is
Screenhero is good at what it does, but is only one facet of a much larger solution.

Screenhero has become it's own verb. "Wanna SH?"
It is used heavily in our engineering department, and used on a regular basis with other departments. Screenhero allows us to not only be able to screen share, but be able to pair the program without having to be in the same location. And because of the ease of use, it is actually used in the same office side by side at times that make it easier for both users to be able to work off the same screen and not have to be close in proximity.
- Easy to establish a screen share with a user.
- Easy to set up screen sharing with multiple users. Adding more than one user to the same screen share is pretty easy and great for code reviews.
- The audio quality and screen sharing quality are solid.
- There have been some periods of time where the multi-user screen share option is not available.
- Recently there was a glitch where the app didn't end the call or establish the link well and it froze and kept calling the other user without them meaning to.
- Wish there was a user search option. The scrolling can get tedious when there are a large number of users in your network to choose from.
- Very positive impact. I work remotely and with there being two separate offices (one in CA and one in GA). The ability to work with someone else's screen is priceless.
- There is a lag in response sometimes, but that is more to do with internet speed and connection than with the product.
- There are times when the system doesn't seem to want to connect with another user, but usually a restart of the app solves that. My understanding is that often times it is the users are not on the same version of the app.
Chrome Remote Desktop is the only other one that allows for both users to interact, but it is not near as intuitive or have the ability to "just work". Slack does screen sharing now, but it seems to struggle with priority of bandwidth between audio and showing the screen. I know Slack owns Screenhero now, so my hope is that one day they will be seamlessly integrated and you won't need a separate application for the two.
I haven't used Skype in a long time and it doesn't have the grouping of people I need.
Highfive is great for conference calls and the ability to show a screen to a group of people, but the one on one with being able to work on each others screens isn't there.

Screenhero for problem solving
Screenhero is used primarily by the engineering and product team at our organization. The problem it addresses is that with remote engineers, and two separate offices, often times solving a problem in code and/or design requires collaboration between people that are not in the same office. Standard screensharing software and conference tools are great when presenting, but for problem solving, the addition of non-hosts being able to take control of the screen with a visible cursor is a life savor!
- Screensharing with all participants being able to take control of the screen.
- A visible mouse cursor for each participant helps keep everything clear and straightforward.
- The call quality very clear.
- Seems to be fairly light on bandwidth requirements.
- With more than 3 people on a call, it can get confusing with that many cursors on screen.
- Message system for groups not that intuitive.
- Program a little buggy - requires app restart too often.
- Screenhero improves remote collaboration.
- Screenhero reduces the time it takes to diagnose problems in code.
- Screenhero makes it easy to collaborate on UX projects.
Screenhero being acquired by Slack was honestly the primary reason we selected it over TeamViewer. Our organization is heavily invested in Slack's enterprise solution, so choosing Screenhero was a pretty easy decision. On top of that, Screenhero delivers very well on its core competencies, so there doesn't seem to be a very good reason to not use it given its relationship with Slack.

Screenhero for the win!
I use Screenhero almost daily to perform pair programming sessions with my colleagues. Screenhero is being used within my team for the purpose of sharing coding sessions and also getting work done while collaborating together new ideas and programming techniques.
- Screen and mouse/keyboard input sharing is the best I saw in any product in the market.
- Voice call ability while screen sharing.
- Very easy setup process. Only register an account and immediately start sharing sessions and working with your team.
- Video calling is not available.
- Mac version works well but I couldn't do a successful installation on a Linux machine.
- When having multiple screens on your computer, and you switch focus from one to another during a screen-sharing session, the shared screen remains on the first screen. This made it hard to work on MacOS's multiple desktops.
- Screenhero allowed us achieve our goals of finishing programming tasks faster than if done individually without sharing sessions.
- Screenhero also made it possible for us to interview new candidates on the team and work with them closely to see their skills hands-on.
- The absence of a video showing the attendees of a sharing session makes it harder to see who's in the session (meeting) but the ability for everyone to have voice and input from their mouse/keyboards is more important.
- First month is free which was good for us to evaluate the tool before using it (didn't need to commit financially to the tool before making sure it fits our culture and need).
Screenhero is the best product in screen sharing quality and ability of all users to provide mouse and keyboard inputs to the session. We can use any account. It is definitely lighter on client computer's memory. Screenhero is easy to install and can accept any email address to register. However, unlike Hangouts and Skype, chat while in session is not available. Also, there is no way to record a Screenhero session, unlike Hangouts. But in summary, Screenhero is a good tool if you and your team want to do pair programming reliably.
