Share Beam

What it does

Share Beam turns any tab, window, or screen into a live session anyone joins with a 6-digit code - no install needed. Everything is peer-to-peer (WebRTC): video, audio, chat, and files travel straight between browsers, never through our servers. Hosts get a floating control bar, live mic/chat controls, join approval, and recording. One-time email verification keeps things abuse-resistant, no accounts or passwords required. Free, up to 50 viewers per session, works in any Chromium browser.

Share Beam lets you broadcast your screen to up to 50 viewers with a 6-digit code — peer-to-peer video, chat, file transfer, and mic. Nothing to install, just a quick one-time email verification to host or join.

Verify your email once, send a 6-digit code, and up to 50 people can watch, chat, and talk back — nothing to install on their end. Built for small teams, quick demos, and watch-parties — not enterprise video-conferencing bloat. A persistent panel that stays open while you work in other tabs — participants, chat, and controls always one glance away. Decide whether viewers can record or screenshot, mute anyone's chat, and grant or revoke mic access — live, mid-session. Viewers can ask to speak. Once you grant it, their mic reaches you directly — no extra setup, no dial-in. Every viewer gets a chat with the host clearly tagged, plus direct peer-to-peer file transfer in both directions.

  Hey HN, I'm Zach, founder of Portal. Portal lets you share a live sandbox browser session as a link. Try it here: https://www.makeportals.com/try Instead of asking someone to sign up, install software, or book a demo for user research, onboarding, or sales, you send a link and they interact with the real product in a sandboxed browser environment, then you get session replays. Each viewer gets a fresh remote browser instance that starts from a defined state (URL, cookies, extensions, local files, etc). Sessions are isolated and expire automatically. The sessions have…

  Screen Sharing in the Browser2024 · github.com · ▲219

  Seeing all the hype around Bolt.new, I decided to give it a try, and within just 30 minutes, I built a fully functional web app for screen sharing. How It Works: - One user opens a room and receives a unique code. - Participants join by simply entering the code to view the shared screen. After that initial build, I moved the project to Cursor to continue iterating and enhancing its features.

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
