Docognito for remote and hybrid workers
For video calls and screen shares, where whatever is on your screen at the moment you present it becomes what the whole meeting sees.
Add to ChromeThe situation
A video call shares whatever is on the screen you choose to present, and switching which tab or window that is takes one click too many to remember every time. Screen sharing usually starts before you have thought carefully about every tab that is open.
Working across a home office one day and a company desk the next means the same laptop carries the same open tabs into both settings. A chat window that was fine at the kitchen table is not necessarily something you want visible during a client call an hour later.
The moment it usually matters is not the whole call. It is the ten seconds after somebody asks to see your screen, when whatever tab is currently open becomes what the whole meeting sees.
What people use it for
Checking whether a written reply reads as terse
A short answer to someone six timezones away lands with no tone of voice behind it, so it helps to know how it will read to them.
Summarising a long thread before a stand-up
Getting the short version of a message thread there was not time to read properly before the meeting.
Turning a brief into a working draft
Getting a rough outline down quickly between one meeting and the next, before the detail gets lost.
Rehearsing answers before a client demo
Working out how to answer the question that is likely to come up, before it actually gets asked live.
Worth knowing first
It does not change what a recording captures
A screen share or a call recording shows whatever is actually on screen at the moment it captures. Docognito does not change anything captured by screen recording or proctoring software, so switch it on before you share, not after somebody has already asked to see your screen.
