What is cobrowsing?
Cobrowsing, short for collaborative browsing, is an innovative technology that allows two or more individuals to simultaneously view and interact with the same web content during a video call or online session.
Unlike traditional screen sharing, where one participant shares their screen for others to passively observe, cobrowsing enables all participants to actively engage with the content.
This means that users can navigate through web pages, click on links, and interact with various elements on the shared screen, fostering a highly collaborative and interactive online experience.
Cobrowsing is widely used in various applications, such as collaborative work, remote troubleshooting, and interactive customer support, where it proves invaluable for guiding users, making presentations, or resolving issues in real time.

Hear from our customers
Support and product teams have spotted user trends, increased customer satisfaction, guided users to solutions, identified bugs, and deployed the right product fixes to create next-level customer experiences with Fullview.
The great thing about using Fullview is that we're able to resolve our customer issues in record time. And we're achieving that, while asking fewer questions in the process
The last thing that users want to do is recount what they've done to get to where they are if they're having an issue. So the replays and cobrowsing are a huge feature for us. We've seen Intercom threads be resolved about 30% quicker since installing Fullview.
For support agents, being able to watch a session replay without the pressure of a customer on the phone asking “can you fix it?” is great. And on the development side, not being able to reproduce a bug is no longer a blocker, because we’ve got video evidence that it did happen.
Fullview has absolutely become one of our go-to tools when we need to figure out what happened on the customer's side. Understanding what happened and trying to recreate bugs used be challenging. But with Fullview Session Replays, we can just go watch the relevant replay to spot what happened.
Fullview has been super helpful for us to get a precise understanding of what our customers feel frustrated with the most, and build up empathy into how customers use our product versus how we think they use it. It definitely compliments and powers up the product analytics data we get from other tools like Mixpanel – powerful combo!
Fullview gives us unparalleled insight into how real customers are using our product in their day-to-day lives. It's the single highest ROI discovery tool we use at Checkr Pay.
We approached Fullview to enhance troubleshooting and QA. Beyond those gains, which were realized immediately, the real value lies in swiftly testing customer behavior during new feature launches. We recently had such a launch, and I identified a problem, but I couldn’t get the full picture from the other tools we used. I checked Fullview Replays and was able to identify the root cause and have the UX fixed within the same week.

Video guide to cobrowsing
Click through the tabs below to see exactly what you can do on a Fullview cobrowsing call — from initiating an in-app call to remotely controlling someone’s screen to viewing console logs for easier troubleshooting, cobrowsing makes the support process faster, easier, and more collaborative.
One-click cobrowsing
Unlike other cobrowsing tools, Fullview can be initiated with just 1 click to see your customers' screens. No downloads, links, or codes are needed.
Remote screen control
Hands-on support at a distance. Once you’re on a cobrowsing call with a user, you can request screen control, and use an independent cursor and annotation tools to interact with your user’s screen.
Full context for troubleshooting
No need to ask users to explain issues. See all relevant console information — including customer steps, console logs, errors, page visits, rage clicks, device info, and more — in a side panel during a cobrowse call.
Session replays
Automatically record all user activity in your app to playback issues when customers request support and see what actions they took leading up to their support requests. Lightweight and privacy-friendly.
What does cobrowsing look like?
Your agents and customers will see slightly different things during a cobrowsing call. Both agents and customers will see the video and audio calling panel, the chat box, and two cursors. In addition to that, agents will see console logs displaying the user journey and any errors encountered by the user during the session.

How does cobrowsing work?
Most modern cobrowsing technology is based on either WebRTC or rrWeb. These technologies were created to allow for seamless peer-to-peer communication over the internet and require no downloads or plugins. Cobrowsing typically follows these steps:
Establish a connection
To cobrowse, you'll need to use a software or platform that supports that functionality. With Fullview, companies can install a few lines of code in their software to enable cobrowsing directly within their app. Support agents can then look up specific customers and initiate a cobrowsing call with any who are currently online directly from within their app, which eliminates the need to send Zoom links or schedule meetings.
Initiate sessions effortlessly
Start cobrowsing sessions by sharing a unique session ID or URL, or, in the case of Fullview, implement our cobrowsing API to start cobrowsing sessions directly from your web app. Once the Fullview cobrowse API has been implemented, all your users will be pulled into your Fullview dashboard, from where you’ll be able to see which ones are live, idle and offline.
Join the session
Once the other participants have received the URL or session ID, they can click through to join the call. In the case of using Fullview for cobrowsing, the customer you initiate a call with will see an 'Accept Call' pop up in your web app and can click 'Accept' to start the cobrowsing call. There are zero-downloads involved for the end-user.
Synchronizing the browsing
Once all participants are connected, the cobrowsing platform synchronizes their browsers. This ensures that everyone sees the same web page or application interface simultaneously.
Navigation and interaction
Participants can then take turns navigating the web page or application. When one user interacts with the content—such as scrolling, clicking links, filling out forms, or submitting data—the changes are replicated and instantly displayed on the screens of all participants.
Collaboration features
Cobrowsing platforms often include additional collaboration features to enhance the experience. These may include live chat, audio or video communication, annotation tools, or the ability to highlight specific elements on the screen. Fullview's cobrowsing has all these features.
Session termination
Once the cobrowsing session is complete, participants can choose to end the session. The platform terminates the connection, and users can continue browsing independently.

Key uses of cobrowsing

Customer success
If you have new features or products launching, and you want to show your existing customers how they can leverage them, cobrowsing is the perfect solution to have them see the product firsthand. You can take them on a tour of the new features and show them how the product works and how it can benefit them.
Team collaboration
Hybrid team? No problem! Cobrowsing can make it much easier and more convenient for teams to collaborate on projects such as presentations, data analysis, brainstorming, and more.
Sales experience
When it comes to complex sales processes such as finance or insurance, cobrowsing can be used to help customers understand what they're signing up for. You can use co-browsing to show them exactly what they're buying and help them fill out any paperwork or applications.

Consultations
Cobrowsing is particularly useful for businesses that offer consulting services as it can help to build trust and credibility with potential clients. By cobrowsing with them, you can help them understand difficult information or help them complete complex forms or processes.
Online banking and wealth management
Online banking and wealth management often involve complicated proposals and information. Cobrowsing can help advisors and clients get on the same page, which can also strengthen the client-advisor relationship.

Insurance
With cobrowsing, insurance agents have the tools to demonstrate each plan on offer, as well as guide users through the difficult business of signing up for them. It can also help ease friction during the claims process.

Is cobrowsing safe?
Unlike remote access, which is vulnerable to scams, cobrowsing is a safe alternative because it gives access only within a specific application or browser window, rather than a user’s entire system.
Limited access
During a cobrowsing session, you only have access within a specific application or browser window. Unlike remote access, cobrowsing does not allow you to control a user’s entire system, which makes it much safer and less prone to scams. The user must also grant you permission to cobrowse. With Fullview, if a user does not want to start a cobrowsing session, they can simply decline the incoming call.
Passport protected
Some stand-alone cobrowsing solutions require that users input a unique code or one-time pin before a cobrowsing session is initiated. With Fullview, this is unnecessary as support agents can directly initiate cobrowsing calls with users live in their product after implementing our cobrowsing api.
Fully encrypted

GDPR compliant
Some cobrowsing solutions, like Fullview, are fully GDPR compliant. All our data is stored on EU servers located in Germany. We give our customers the option to store their data on either EU or US servers, depending on their needs.
Data masking
Fullview gives you full control over the data you want to capture during a cobrowsing call with your users. GDPR-sensitive data, such as credit card numbers and addresses, is not captured by default, but we give you granularity and customization options so you can ensure you remain compliant while offering exceptional customer experiences.

Most common questions
What is Fullview Cobrowsing?
Fullview Cobrowsing lets customer support agents initiate in-app calls with users who are online. Once the user accepts, the agent can request screen control to solve customer issues that are hard to resolve over chat, the phone, or email. Fullview Cobrowsing includes video and audio conferencing, annotation tools, and an in-call chat feature. Console information (like user steps, errors, warnings, frustration signals, device, network information, and page visits) is visible to the agent in a side panel during the call so they can see exactly what is happening on the user’s side for easier troubleshooting.
How to implement Fullview Cobrowsing?
In order to implement Fullview Cobrowsing, you will have to add our script to your web app (by copy-pasting a few lines of code) and do a simple API implementation to pull your users into your Fullview dashboard. Once you have done that, you will be able to see whether your users are offline, idle, or online, start a cobrowsing call with them, and view any recordings of user sessions in your app. Installing Fullview takes no more than 10 minutes and can also be done using tools like Google Tag Manager to make it even easier.
Is Fullview Cobrowsing safe?
Fullview Cobrowsing is completely safe and GDPR compliant. All our data is stored on EU or US servers depending on your needs. Sensitive data is automatically blurred out during calls, and we give you additional options to customize what customer data you want to capture and what you want to censor during a cobrowsing call. Fullview complies with SOC 1-3, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and is HIPAA-BAA eligible. Learn more about how Fullview keeps your data safe on our security page.
How much does Fullview Cobrowsing cost?
Fullview has both free and paid versions of cobrowsing plans. The free version includes 4 cobrowsing calls per seat per month. Our pro plan starts at $49 per seat per month and includes access to unlimited cobrowsing calls and unlimited integrations. You can add unlimited team members to your organization on both plans. For enterprise companies, please get in touch with us for custom pricing and discounts. Find more information on our pricing page.
What is the difference between cobrowsing and screen sharing?
Cobrowsing and screen sharing both facilitate collaboration during online interactions. Cobrowsing allows users to jointly navigate web content with shared control, annotation, and privacy features. In contrast, screen sharing involves one-way streaming of a user's screen content without collaborative control.
What makes cobrowsing essential for customer support?
Cobrowsing is particularly beneficial for handling level 2 and 3 support tickets that are complex to resolve via chat. It enhances the support process by providing real-time collaboration, making it a valuable addition to a multi-channel support strategy. Cobrowsing significantly reduces customer frustration by speeding up time-to-resolution. Agents can troubleshoot problems faster by taking control of a user's screen, especially for non-tech-savvy users who may find following instructions challenging.
How does cobrowsing improve customer engagement?
Cobrowsing increases customer engagement by offering a seamless support experience within the application, eliminating the need for users to leave the platform or download additional tools. This results in higher response rates and more efficient issue resolution.
