【Eng Sub】

The Eng Subcollaborative workplace platform Slack just announced its adding one of its most requested features: a new screen-sharing tool.

Slack previously allowed users on a call to share screens with other collaborators, but now, Slack users can also allow others to interact with the screen in a number of ways, including typing, drawing, and editing on the screen.

Here's an example of a Slack screen with multiple participants interacting at once:

To enhance its screen-sharing ability, Slack acquired the collaborative workplace app Screenhero in 2014 and has been incrementally moving Screenhero's interactive features into the official Slack apps and clients. Now, the integration is complete, and Slack says it will sunset the Screenhero on December 1.

To facilitate the migration for still active Screenhero users, Slack will offer a 60-day trial for some users who don't already have a paid Slack account.

Enabling this new interactive screen-sharing ability on Slack looks pretty simple. During a Slack call, you just need to hit the "Share control of your screen" button which will then give each participant on the call their own cursor. They can now type, edit, and draw on the shared screen. Happy collaborating.
