V8.1.57 New video layouts and open URLs of shared browser windows

DATE:
AUTHOR: Team CoScreen

We're excited to announce another major release of CoScreen - V8, packed with improvements based on feedback by many of you. Thank you for being part of our journey as we continue to evolve CoScreen!

New Features

  • New video layouts: We frequently heard from users that you want improved video layouts that automatically fit all participants without needing to resize the entire window, larger video feeds for 1:1 meetings, and buttons that are easier to find.

  • Open shared browser windows locally: If remote control is enabled, remote users can now open URLs from shared windows on their local machine with a single click—no more need to ask for the link. This feature is available for Chrome and Safari windows shared from macOS, with support for Windows planned.

  • New sharing tabs: Many of you told us that the sharing tabs were covering essential content on your windows, so we made them semi-transparent to ensure clear visibility of your screen.

  • Nerd font in the CoScreen Terminal: We heard you - CoScreen now supports your fancy shell prompts in the built-in terminal and now uses a Nerd Font (Fira Code) that supports many popular glyphs.

Quality Improvements

  • Microsoft Windows:

    • Fixed an issue that caused remote keystrokes to trigger double entries locally.

    • Reduced CPU consumption (more major improvements coming soon).

  • macOS:

    • Reduced remote control latency by up to 50%.

    • Resolved a bug that caused full-display sharing to stop when a window was minimized or maximized.

    • Corrected an issue preventing remote control and drawing when remote windows overlapped with a full display share.

    • Improved window border detection so that borders now disappear when a window is minimized.

  • Across All Platforms:

    • Addressed a problem where screen shares appeared with gray stripes and black borders during one-on-one calls.

    • Strengthened the reliability of yellow sharing tabs to reduce latency and prevent missing tabs.

    • Fixed an issue that caused text in shared terminals to appear jumbled.

Update 31 Oct, 2024 (8.1.65)

  • We pushed a security fix to ensure we are not sharing content within the sharing indicator on newer macOS versions.
