This saddens and frustrates me as a user. I love screenhero and it does its job well. I&#x27;ve used it for all of my remote interactions over the past year or so and was a happy paying customer (through our company).<p>Unfortunately, due to other concerns about paying for Slack[1], we probably will not be able to continue to use it. We&#x27;ll be a once-happy customer that falls victim to this acquisition. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth :(<p>[1] It is expensive especially at our scale, we already pay for a couple chatroom-type&#x2F;irc-like services, and the big one: long-lasting offsite chat logs present a difficult hurdle in client negotiations, a headache we just do not need

It&#x27;s a Slacquisition ha ha.<p>Been using Slack a lot the past few months and really love it. Pairing it with Trello has given us a powerhouse of open communication and task management. I&#x27;m interested to see how it scales for our team as we grow, although the way Slack sets up channels I think it won&#x27;t be a problem.<p>It will be interesting to see the screen sharing stuff too. Maybe it could replace Skype, which I cringe whenever I have to open (slow desktop app + tons of ads + incessantly begs me to update almost every time I open it).

We&#x27;re big users of both Slack + Screenhero at Thinkful for our students communicating with each other in real time (Slack) and pair programming with mentors (Screenhero). We were even spec&#x27;ing a feature to make Screenhero the only tool for mentor sessions. Congrats to the Screenhero team – you built a great product and deserve this, but it&#x27;s sad we&#x27;ll have to switch to another product. We can&#x27;t wait months to have something available, and it&#x27;s not clear the new features will do what we need :&#x2F;

My business partner and I have been using Slack as our primary messaging tool and been somewhat stuck with Skype as a secondary tool for voice and screen sharing. I am definitely interested in seeing where this goes, and it&#x27;s definitely a feature we&#x27;d pay for.

I used Screenhero a lot when I worked remotely. It&#x27;s a great tool. Shared screens from the East coastto West coast (US) with hardly ever experiencing problems. Great service.

I have to agree with the frustration of the apparent minority. We&#x27;ve been using HipChat corporate-wide, and the subset of users that have been using Screenhero aren&#x27;t going to be able to change to Slack now (even if we wanted to).<p>And it seems that the wondering our remote development team has been doing about what happened to progress on Screenhero&#x27;s video codec (pumping 800kb&#x2F;s+ over my line when nothing is happening on screen is a bit excessive) is now answered with a resounding, &quot;We&#x27;ve been trying to get acquired.&quot; Well, congrats on that.<p>Back to VNC and Skype with no cursor of my own, I guess. But at least it&#x27;s free and has less chance of my ISP throttling my home connection due to saturating the pipes with Screenhero all day.

&gt; Cross platform: Screenhero supports both Windows and Mac.<p>It&#x27;s like there isn&#x27;t any other operating system...<p>We do both, country AND western!

As a user of both Slack and Screenhero this makes me happy.<p>I&#x27;ve always felt they would make a cute couple. That said, integration seemed kind of sparse (limited to &#x2F;username in Slack). We also struggled to have it work reliably in daily use.<p>Thus we mostly reverted back to the Skype&#x2F;Slack combo. However this has proved to be suboptimal, partly because links and chatlogs shared in Skype are not archived in Slack for easy retrieval.<p>Hopefully this marriage will bring about a bunch of deeper and more polished integrations for users.

Been a long time user of Slack and absolutely love it... I&#x27;ve seriously got a bromance with this company. It&#x27;s adored throughout the company I work at, and one of our pains is that we do all our communication through Slack, even if we&#x27;re next to each other, we still have headphones on and we talk in Slack. But we still have to go to Skype to do stand up meetings with our remote users... Would be so much better if we could do video over Slack.

Screenhero has been amazing for pairing remotely; something I do often. A co-worker was amazed when his custom keyboard layout worked seamlessly with my terminal session. Once people experience it I find it&#x27;s not hard to convert them. It will be interesting to see how the Slack integration will improve the experience.<p>One thing I&#x27;ve always wanted though was integration between Screenhero and Sqwiggle. Any chance we&#x27;ll see something like that, Slack?

Our entire company uses Slack for most communication since everyone works 100% remotely. It has been fantastic. Finding a good tool for screen sharing has been difficult, though. I pair almost every day, so I need a tool that is stable and has a good quality-to-speed ratio.<p>For people with good connections, Screenhero works well; only downsides are that we get a lot of crashes in the beta app and sometimes the mouse sharing changes window focus or mouse position for the other user, but in general it is the best tool we&#x27;ve found. For those without good connections, we have to use GoTo since it sacrifices refresh rates for quality.<p>Overall, I&#x27;m excited to see how this works out. Right now it&#x27;s a small subset of people in our company that use Screenhero, but I expect to see that number jump with this announcement.

As a slack user, I think this is awesome. This is one thing that we do miss currently, a video calling facility.<p>I mean we can log into skype or google hangouts something else, but having it in slack would be totally cool!<p>I&#x27;ve never used Screenhero before, but going by the comments here, I wish I had!

What does this mean for Sqwiggle? Are you guys the next Slack acquisition?
nikhilpandit超过 10 年前
I used screenhero for some remote work. It&#x27;s great for pair programming and helping debug a problem remotely. Since our team used Slack, I really wished Slack would add similar functionality to their product. Glad to see that it&#x27;s going to happen now, and will be built by the people who built the awesome screehero product. Congrats guys! hope to see more awesome work from you!

We tested Slack some months ago, but rejected it due to lack of solution for VoIP and video conference.<p>I am not seeing this acquisition is changing this. In order to have a meeting with multiple participants, we will still need Skype&#x2F;Hangouts&#x2F;Lync&#x2F;WebEx.

So if I am an unpaid slack user how do I screenshare with a user that is not a slack user?<p>If I am an unpaid member of several unpaid slack teams how do I continue to use screenhero?<p>Can I opt in to a paid single user and use screenhero across my multiple slack teams?

is there anything else out there that I can pay for now that&#x27;s like screenhero? This actually looks like something I need, but now I can&#x27;t sign up.

As a screenhero and Slack user I&#x27;m excited to be able to experience one experience across both products. They&#x27;re both best in class in my opinion.

Screenhero reps, do you have a gameplan for being able to &quot;invite&quot; users for one time sessions? This is what I often need Screenhero for.
