Looks really great! Well done!
Thank you! We would love to hear how [bench] works for you!
Definitely impressive. Great job! If this had desktop/window/application sharing that would be incredible. Any chance that's on the roadmap?
This is already possible - we definitely need to do a better job with communicating that! Just install the chrome extension and you are good to go:
Ah, excellent - Thank you for the info! ! I didn't bother to click 'screenshot' as it didn't lead me to think there would be any other options (other than a screenshot). Another question I can't seem to find the info on - is there a limit to the number of users that can simultaneously connect to a bench?
glad I could help! Currently there is a limit of 15 participants - we work hard to increase that number :)
This is pretty sweet. My business partner just got set up. Amazing!
At some stage we will reflect on that moment and start dividing time between Before bench & After bench ;) Thanks for you love Mike. Please tell us later how it changed your teaching process. We already know about teachers projecting bench in class and letting students participate, and have access to files after the classes.
I'm struggling to see how this is any different to Skype?
thanks for asking your question. Primarily [bench] helps achieve a greater level of productivity than what is possible on skype. Screensharing is only one part of that equation, it's the fact that you can work on multiple things at once on [bench], everyone can see everything, you can hold their attention. You don't need to set up calls, people don't need to login or have any application installed. Just need to send someone a link. It's effortless. But, really you can only experience the difference, words can only go so far, would you be up for a demo so we can show you the ropes?
Wow, LOVE this. Excuse me while i go explore. Well done, team!
Exploring Bench is much better with a friend (or a coworker)! Let us know what do you think so we can make it even better :)
Perfect timing! I was just looking for something beside Skype. I was not able to understand from the main page if we can call up any application to work on within Bench. Or, if we are limited to typepad, images and what can be pulled from Google Drive, Trello and the other integrations you show. Are there limitations or is it limitless?
"All good things come to those who wait" :) No, not any application yet. For the time being only images and PDFs (+streaming) are working in our MVP. Integrations allow to get files from those sources without downloading them to your computer first. Support for office files (google docs etc) is in the making.

Thanks Marco. Making a cool app not easy but presenting it succinctly is a totally new ball game :)
awesome tool guys!
Thanks V :) Please come back to us with some feedback after your first bench meetings
