Web Touring - Co-Browsing

« PowerPoint Presentation Facilities | Main | Presence Awareness »

With Groove it is possible to surf together with your selected users any Internet web site. The feature is well implemented and it offers a history of recent URLs accessed as well a Favorites folder in which to store bookmarks to sites of interest or that need to be easily accessed or shown during in a presentation.

If any of the participants will set also the "Browse Together" feature in their workspace, they also will be able to control navigation and surfing of the Web content being shared.

Typical limitations of co-browsing technology apply also to this Groove workspace module. If the presenter/moderator scrolls a Web page participants are not able to detect the scrolling. If the "Browse Together" option is turned off each participant may linger off by clicking on a Web page internal links.

The co-browsing facility of Groove adds a few extra functionalities that make its use a breeze. A "Favorites" list is available, allowing easy storage of preferred web site addresses within a hierarchical set of custom folders just like in Internet Explorer.

The button "Copy as a Link" allows to easily link any content item displayed in a Groove Workspace from other Groove documents (a link to a Groove shared file can be typed in the text chat window).

Standard "back", "forward", "stop" and "refresh" web browser buttons are also available.
