See is a group screen share and video conference platform

See is the all new way to communicate with your friends. 

See allows you to share the contents of your mobile screen or desktop with your friends while you chat with them. 

On the iPhone and Android your friends can see your screen or you but not both at the same time. So when you are sharing your screen then your friends see your screen and hear you. 

On the web you can choose however many apps you want to share or your whole desktop while everyone can see your video. 

Your friends see everything on your screen including any messages that popup so you may want to put your device on Do Not Disturb mode to prevent any messages appear.

 

How much is See?

Installing on iPhone

Download the See app

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/see-group-screen-share/id1450199723

The See app requires iOS 12.

 

How does See work on iOS?

 

Apple put a tremendous amount of effort to ensure that their apps and platform is secure. 

In iOS 11 which launched in 2018, Apple allowed the ability to record the screen. You had to add a special screen record button to your control center and you could record the screen. If you long pressed the button then you could pick an app like See to send the recording to. 

This process was a bit cumbersome so in iOS 12 Apple made it much easier by allowing the installed app to bring up the screen recording facility built into the OS. This feature is what See uses to record your iPhone screen and then broadcast it to your friends in real-time. 

We take this stream and pass it to our global network of 100 servers to deliver the stream and transcode it so it is viewable on the web and Android versions of our app with a sub 1 second latency.

See on the web

Works in your browser

See lets you video conference and screen share directly in your browser. 

Chrome
See works in Chrome with a browser extension that you can download from the Chrome extension store here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/see-group-screen-share/mfnecehlkcopciojpafjlaclkiieddca?hl=en

Firefox
See also works in Firefox without needing a browser extension.

Safari
See lets you video conference on Safari but you cannot screen share. We are working on a desktop app that will resolve this issue for you. In the meantime, you could try downloading Chrome at https://www.google.com/chrome/

Internet Explorer
If you have the latest version of Internet Explorer that supports WebRTC you should be able to video conference. You will not be able to screen share.

You can see if your computer has the features required to use See in your browser by visiting the troubleshoot link on https://getsee.co/troubleshoot 

You will need a microphone and video camera to video conference.

 

How do I change my default speakers & microphone

Resolve sound problems
On a Mac

You can often access the speakers in the top right of your desktop next to your clock

If this isn't available. You can go to System Preferences -> Sound

The Input tab lets you test the internal microphone and switch on ambient noise reduction to reduce background noises so you sound better.

Note: On Macbooks the microphone input tends to be a small hole on the right of the laptop which can easily get covered up.

 

My camera or microphone doesn't work

Make sure you've allowed permission in your browser

First thing - is your webcam & microphone plugged in?

OK. We know you probably checked that first.

You have to allow permissions for your browser to be able to access the camera and microphone. 

When you first visit See and start a call you will see a popup that looks like one of the following: 

Safari


Chrome

Firefox

For whatever reason if you don't see these popups then you have probably denied permissions for all web sites or just this one in the past and you may see something like the following in the browser address bar. 

Tapping these camera icons lets you change the settings to allow Camera and Microphone access for getsee.co 

You may have completely blocked all web sites from accessing the camera and microphone and the following settings are ways in which you can resolve this.

Safari
Open the File menu -> Preferences -> Websites -> Camera & Microphone
then change the deny for getsee.co to allow

Chrome
Type the following into your address bar: chrome://settings/content

And then tap Camera and flick the blocked switch and/or remove https://getsee.co:443 from the Block list. Do the same for the microphone.

Firefox
Type the following into your address bar about:preferences#privacy
Scroll down to Permissions

Tap Camera -> Settings
Uncheck the Block setting and if getsee.co appears in website that status is allow
Also do this for Microphone.

We hope this helps you resolve the camera and microphone not working. If you are still experiencing problems let us know at support@castcircle.com

 

How to install See in Slack

Start screen share and video conferences from within Slack

You can find the See app in the Slack directory or by tapping this link:
https://slack.com/apps/AG852VA4R-see

After tapping the Add to Slack button you will be prompted to allow permissions to your Slack workspace. 

When you accept you will be displayed a confirmation page.

To use See inside Slack you just type the /see command and you will get a button with a link to your See screen share and video conference.

To invite specific people to a See session you first just create a group with them in and then type the /see command.

 

How do invite links work?

One link that opens everywhere
When you launch the See app you will be presented with an Invite friends button which will generate a link that you can share with your friends on whatever platform you like. 

You can send the link by email, SMS, Slack, Messenger, WhatsApp, Facebook,  or any other way to your friends.

The See link is special and works differently on Android, iOS or Web. The link starts with https://getsee.page.link/ and then a code. When the link is tapped on an iPhone or Android it checks if you have the app installed. If not, then you are taken to the app store where you can download the app. If you did have the app installed or just downloaded it then you will be taken to start the call with your friends. You may have to accept Microphone and Camera permissions.

On a desktop the same link will take you to the https://getsee.co web site where you can join a call.
