Camera and screen sharing

Camera and screen sharing are optional during a live session. Both are off by default. You decide whether to turn them on, and you can turn them off again at any time.

These options only appear when the AI Fellow has been configured to support them. If you do not see the buttons, the session is voice-only and that is intentional.

Camera sharing

When you turn the camera on, the AI Fellow is told that your camera is on, but it does not see anything yet. When you ask it to look, for example at a document you hold up, it takes one fresh snapshot of what your camera shows at that moment. It takes a new snapshot each time it needs to look again; there is no continuous video. Camera images are not stored beyond the active session.

Your Fellow page before starting a live session

Click the camera button in the call controls.
The browser asks permission to use your camera. Allow it.
The camera is active. Ask the AI Fellow to look when you want it to see something.
Click the camera button again at any time to turn it off.

The AI Fellow does not see your camera until you ask it to look, and it only sees the snapshot it takes at that moment.

Screen sharing

Screen sharing lets the AI Fellow see what is on your screen. The AI Fellow can comment on what is visible, walk you through it, or help you work through a task while you share. What you share is not recorded or kept after the session.

A live session with the user's screen actively shared with the AI Fellow

Click the screen-sharing button in the call controls.
The browser opens its native sharing dialog. Pick the screen, window, or tab to share.
The AI Fellow now sees what you selected and can refer to it during the conversation.
Stop sharing through the browser's controls or the in-call screen-sharing button when you are done.

You decide what to share. The AI Fellow only sees what your browser sends. Choose a specific window or tab when you do not want to share your full screen, including notifications and other applications.
