They sent an email about this to Slack admins this morning, with a section "Why the change" that doesn't answer the question at all.
> Why the change:
> • We will be rolling out a new, faster version of calls in early July.
> • To enable this improved experience, we are removing the ability to share remote control of your screen during a Slack Call.
How does removing this feature enable an improved experience?
- bglusman 7y agoWith no personal knowledge here my guess is that's just marketing speak, and the real reason it was removed is... well... Slack is an enterprise product and a lot of enterprises don't want or need this, and the idea of a vector for remote control even being possible just blocks a lot of sales and complicates security audits in BigCo. I'm sure they offered a way to disable it but the feature was still in there so... just my guess though.
- dfabulich 7y agoNah, Zoom is an enterprise product, and they have this feature. (Slack is referring people who want remote control functionality to use Zoom.)
