Great question - here's how it works:
If you only have one display (e.g. while you're on the run) it can still share the windows on this desktop but you can share/unshare all of them with a single click on the display icon next to your user. You can also auto-minimize all your windows when joining a room.
Ok so it's an all or nothing type thing? I'm either sharing my whole screen or none of it?
Still definitely useful! Just trying to learn the limitations.
This is awesome by the way, I'll definitely be checking it out!
Exactly - all your windows on your screen to be specific, so e.g. not your desktop background or files on your desktop. We're considering adding the ability to pick individual windows but feedback welcome...
On the Mac, could you assign a "spaces" virtual desktop to be shared with coscreen? Then you can just 3 finger swipe between a private screen and the shared one.
Could do this with windows 10 and its "virtual desktop" too!
Yeah we're considering this as it's indeed quite consistent between mac & windows but it will take a while to figure out...
