The cool entity with co-browsing is that you can attain good results even when in presence of very slow, model-like Internet connections. Something in total not possible with most present-day screen-sharing tools.

Co-browsing is one of the oldest real-time teamwork technologies and also one of the simplest. To make its "magic" work, a co-browsing system only makes all participants use a common, stripped-down browser, and sends each URL chosen by the "host" or presenter, to all other participants linked to the session.

This is why co-browsing requires only standard computer and a minimal Internet connection speed.

Co-browsing tools work by distributing in a synchronous style the URL(s) being visited by the broadcaster to the browsers of all participants.

What are then the key advantages that give reason for the use of traditional co-browsing tools? Here the key benefits of co-browsing when compared to screen-sharing solutions.
