What it is
Drovio is a screen-sharing and remote collaboration app for distributed teams. It lets people share an IDE, another app, or their screen for pair programming, code reviews, coding interviews, design work, brainstorming, and education. Each participant has an independent cursor and can interact with the shared app. Voice chat with echo cancellation and webcam sharing are included, and people can join a session in a browser without installing the app. Paid plans support up to 10 participants; the free Basic plan allows two and limits remote control to 30 minutes per day. Drovio says its sharing is optimized for low latency, including on low-bandwidth connections and at high resolutions, and that sessions use peer-to-peer technology and end-to-end encryption. Slack users can start sessions from within Slack. Drovio works on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, with a self-hosted Enterprise option. Basic is free; Standard starts at $15/user/mo and includes a 15-day trial without a credit card.
