Screenleap

Screenleap lets people share a screen or camera with viewers who can join through a browser without installing software. Sharing is available through Windows and Mac apps, desktop browsers, and native iOS and Android apps. Meetings can use computer audio through the sharer's microphone and speakers. Users can also share computer control and let viewers point things out on screen, though those features require add-on software. Premium account users can record shares for later download, viewing, and sharing. Website integration adds screen sharing, video, audio, and chat to a site; the API can start live sessions without participant software. Integration requires HTTPS and a modern browser, and mobile or tablet visitors can view but not share through it. The Free plan provides 40 minutes per day and up to 8 viewers, with no integration or control sharing. Basic costs $15 a month, and Pro costs $31 a month. Screenleap says share data is encrypted in transit and cleared from memory two minutes after a session ends. The service does not support hosting on customers' own servers.

Screenleap supports browser-based viewing, desktop and mobile sharing, and website integration. The free tier has daily time and viewer limits, while control sharing and website integration are not included in that plan.

It suits people who need browser-accessible screen sharing for meetings, support, presentations, classes, or collaboration. Organizations adding live sharing to a website can use its integration or API, subject to their requirements.

Overview

Screenleap is a screen-sharing service for presentations, meetings, and live interaction on websites. It is best suited to presenters who want viewers to join in a browser without installing software. Its free tier is useful for short, small sessions, but daily time and viewer caps—and paid-only control sharing and website integration—make it a limited choice for regular or interactive use.

Key features

Browser-first sessions

Presenters can share a screen or camera, while viewers join through a browser without installing software. Desktop sharing also works through native Windows and Mac apps or installation-free sharing in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. That flexibility reduces friction for desktop viewers, though sharing from iOS and Android requires Screenleap’s native apps.

Meetings and collaboration

Meetings can use the presenter’s microphone and speakers for computer-audio conferencing. Presenters can also let viewers control their computer or point out items on screen, but those interactions require add-on software. Screenleap therefore fits straightforward presentations more readily than collaboration that depends on viewer control.

Website integration and API

A code snippet can add screen sharing, video, audio, chat, and other live interaction to a website; the API can start similar sessions without requiring participants to install software. Integration requires an HTTPS page and a modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. Mobile and tablet users can view integrated sessions, but cannot share from those devices. Free-account integrations carry the 40-minute daily cap, Screenleap branding, and a promotional-page redirect when a session ends.

Recording and access controls

Premium users can record screen shares for later download, viewing, and sharing. Pro accounts and higher can restrict broadcast access; private broadcasts can require an access code or be locked to new viewers. Screenleap says share data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 256-bit AES, held in memory, and cleared two minutes after a session ends. The service does not support hosting on customers’ own servers.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and allows 40 minutes per day, up to 8 viewers, and 2 scheduled meetings. It excludes website integration and control sharing, so it is best for occasional, small presentations rather than ongoing support or embedded sessions.

Basic costs $15 a month, billed $15/month. It raises the allowance to 8 hours per day and up to 30 viewers, with unlimited meetings, website integration, and control sharing. It suits regular use that can stay within a daily time budget.

Pro costs $31 a month, billed $31/month. It removes the sharing time limit, supports up to 150 viewers, and includes unlimited meetings, integration, and control sharing. Choose it when Basic’s daily cap or audience limit is too restrictive.

Company pricing is $1,539 a month, billed $15-39/user/month. It adds customization and branding, account management, an embeddable viewer, centralized billing, and screen recording. Those organizational features make it the fit for teams that need administration or recording rather than a basic presenter plan.

Platforms

Screenleap supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web, as well as an extension and API. Desktop users can share from supported browsers or native apps; mobile users share from the native apps. The stated maximum participants figure is 30, while plan viewer caps reach 150 on Pro. The stated session duration limit is 40 minutes, alongside plan allowances of 8 hours per day on Basic and unlimited sharing on Pro.

Who it's for

Screenleap is a practical fit for customer support, sales presentations, online meetings, webinars, classes, and ad-hoc collaboration when browser-based viewing matters. It is less suitable for mobile presenters who need to share through an integrated website, or organizations that require self-hosting.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Viewers can join browser-based screen or camera shares without installing software, easing access for desktop audiences.
• Pros: Desktop browser and native-app sharing, plus native iOS and Android sharing, cover common devices.
• Pros: Pro removes the daily sharing allowance and raises the viewer cap to 150.
• Cons: Free limits sessions to 40 minutes per day and 8 viewers, and excludes control sharing and website integration.
• Cons: Viewer control and pointing require add-on software, weakening the case for installation-free collaboration.
• Cons: Website integration cannot be used for mobile or tablet sharing, and free integrations show branding and redirect viewers after sessions.

Verdict

Choose Screenleap for browser-friendly desktop presentations and meetings, especially when viewers should not need to install software. Its free plan can cover brief, small sessions, but frequent sharing, larger audiences, embedded sessions, or interactive control point toward a paid tier. Look elsewhere if mobile website sharing or customer-hosted deployment is essential.
