  TabConnect turns browser tab sharing into a cleaner, faster, and more controlled experience. Instead of sharing your entire desktop, you can share only the tab that matters, generate a ready-to-use viewer link from the extension popup, and manage the live room as viewers join.
  
  Whether you are running a product demo, helping a customer, reviewing a page with a colleague, or guiding someone through an online workflow, TabConnect keeps the process simple: open the tab, start sharing from the popup, send the link or QR code, and stay in control from one place.
  
  Why TabConnect:
  • Share only the current browser tab instead of your full screen
  • Generate a ready-to-use viewer URL instantly from the extension popup
  • Copy the viewer link, open the hosted viewer, or hand it off with a QR code for quick phone or tablet access
  • Freeze or resume the presentation on the current frame for viewers
  • Lock or unlock the room for new joins during a live session
  • Switch the live share to the browser tab you are currently viewing without starting over
  • Let viewers join with their own names for clearer session management
  • Support up to five active viewers per share
  • See connected viewers live while you are sharing and remove viewers directly from the popup
  • Reuse previous sessions from the built-in Previous Sessions page
  • Regenerate the session password when you want a fresh room, or reset it automatically when a share ends
  • Adjust password length, allowed characters, and other share defaults from Share Settings
  • Choose a presentation mode and check live room health at a glance
  • See a compact host-check panel with the active shared tab, viewer count, and room state
  • Review a last-share summary with duration, peak viewers, and the last shared tab
  • Open the hosted viewer page directly from the extension
  • Use room chat during a live session
  • Check live diagnostics such as signaling status, connection mode, latency, reconnect activity, sharing duration, capture details, and peer-stream details
  • Built on WebRTC with direct browser-to-browser streaming and relay support for tougher networks
  • Give viewers Fit Screen, Actual Size, zoom, pan, fullscreen, and laser-pointer controls for large shared pages
  
  Great for:
  • Product demos and sales walkthroughs
  • Customer support and guided troubleshooting
  • Training and onboarding
  • Internal reviews and approvals
  • Live walkthroughs of web-based tools and workflows
  
  TabConnect is built for people who want a focused way to present exactly what is happening in one browser tab without the clutter of full-screen sharing.
