Extension summary

Very lightweight screen sharing extension that can stream your web browser window to one or more participants. First click on the extension and activate screen sharing, then copy and send out the link at which participants can view your stream.

Participants will be able to use any web browser to join your screen sharing session. They will not have to install any additional software. Communikate Screen Sharing is also lightweight on network connectivity, since compressed jpeg images are sent out to participants only when your screen changes. Your mouse movements are sent as coordinates separate from the screen captured jpeg and will show up on the participants screen as a red laser pointer. Feel free to use your mouse to direct the presentation.

Simple, easy to use extension to share my Chrome tab with coworkers. Easy installation and very efficient. A few feature updates of allowing the host to see what is being shared or who is viewing will make this a 5 star extension. Nice!

As the host you need this extension and need to be running Chrome, but participants don't. Just send them a link from and they will see your web browser screen. Nice!
