Screen Share

Description

The Screen Share tool lets mentorAI “see” the browser tab or window you choose to share. By viewing your screen in real time, the mentor can provide context‑aware, step‑by‑step guidance—perfect for technical demos, troubleshooting, or walking through tasks like building a new AI mentor.

Live Confirmation & Troubleshooting

Ask questions like

“Did my resource finish training?”
and get immediate reassurance or corrections.

On‑Demand Tool Toggles

Screen sharing pairs seamlessly with other mentor tools (Web Search, Code Interpreter, Image Generation, etc.), which you can enable or disable as needed.

Privacy Control

You choose exactly which window or tab to share and can stop sharing at any moment.

How to Use (step by step)

Verify that your mentor’s Screen Sharing toggle is On (in mentor settings).

Interact & Receive Guidance

The mentor greets you and begins context‑specific help.

The mentor checks the on‑screen status and confirms instantly.

How to Use (Screensharing Transcript)

Purpose

After a screen-sharing session with the mentor (e.g., in a course side panel), the voice conversation transcript appears in the chat automatically once screen sharing ends.

Steps

Start screen sharing and choose what to share (e.g., Full Window).
Speak with the mentor.

You: “Can you see my screen?”
Mentor: “Yes, I can see your screen. You are on a page titled War of 1812…”

You: “Great. Can you summarize what you’re seeing on the page?”

Mentor: (Summarizes the page:)
- Causes: British impressment, support for Native American attacks
- Impacts: Boosted American nationalism, weakened Native resistance
- Confirms U.S. independence
Stop screen sharing.
Refresh the page.

The mentor’s on-call description from the screen-sharing session now appears in the chat transcript, allowing you to reference what the mentor observed even after sharing ends.

Pedagogical Use Cases

Technical Walkthroughs

Get live, click‑by‑click assistance when creating a new AI mentor, configuring datasets, or adjusting model settings.
