Co-browsing functionality

Apr 18, 2023

What is it?

Co-browsing is interactive screen sharing. The co-browsing feature allows meeting participants to interact with the same web page in real time. A participant can scroll, edit and click through a web page. For the other participant, these changes will reflect instantly on their own screen. The collaborative nature of co-browsing opens up possibilities beyond the scope of normal screen sharing. These include:

  1. When one person scrolls, the page will move for both participants.

  2. The agent can draw on the customer’s screen to direct their attention.

  3. Both participants can add and remove text and share the changes.

  4. Clicks made by one participants will impact the other in the same way.
