Video and screen-sharing software

Making video calls and sharing screens is extremely handy. Luckily there are plenty of apps that can do that for you.

The original software was Skype, but that has been overtaken by other better software.

The best known is Zoom:

  • Free version available
  • 40 mins group calls with free version
  • unlimited calls with free version
  • can record meetings for later perusal
  • small easy download to start
  • does have screen-sharing

My favourite for small groups and ease of use is Appear.in

  • Free version available
  • works in your browser with no download needed
  • best for quick video chats
  • does have screen-sharing
  • very easy to use

If you already use Slack, it has great video and screen-sharing capabilities. I talk about slack here

Another product in this area is UseLoom. This is one of my all time favourites.

Basically with this extension in your Chrome browser, you can make a screen-sharing video and send it to someone quicker than you can type the same information.

I use it often if I have a problem with a program and am having trouble convincing the tech person that my problems exists!

So I just record with Loom exactly what my issue is, then send the loom video to them.

I also use it for short training videos, for example, in a WordPress website there are some tasks you only do every couple of months, and, of course, everyone forgets after that amount of time. So I do a quick personalised loom video of that exact task; then it’s there for my client to access each time they need to do this task.

I’ve talked a bit about Loom here.

Check out this great list of excellent software here.
