Really disappointing news, rolling Screenhero into Slack doesn't solve the same problem at all.
I work for myself and have a large contact list of people who don't know each other who I often pair with or screenshare with. With Slack, there's really no way for me to create the same setup.
I'd need to create a new team called "Adam's Screenhero Contacts", invite all of my contacts (who don't know each other) to be part of this "team" together, and I'd have to foot the bill for the whole team since there's no way for each individual to pay for their own Slack account.
Is there a viable Screenhero alternative out there yet?
We use appear.in through our paid Slack accounts. I don't know how our admins set is up but we just type /appear in any channel/chat and immediately get a link.
In the Slack admin panel you can change the default call provider from slack to others, one of those is appear.in. Doing this will cause the “call” button in the slack app to auto generate a unique link for appear.in and add it to the chat. Works well if your company won’t scrape together for paid version of slack (such as mine).
This doesn't solve it either, however. As an example, if I'm friends with 5 people who each have this setup, I'll have to pay to belong to each of their 5 separate shared Slack channels. And they would need to do the same for each of THEIR friends.
GoToMeeting is rock solid if you only need to broadcast a single screen at a time. (Only one "one-to-many" screen; no collaboration, no multiple cursors.) It's low-bandwidth, supports dial-in and recording, and has a native app.
