JAMROOM
Together
-
ujTogether adds collaboration features and tools to your Jamroom.
Help users (and allow them to help one another), show clients how things work, communicate and collaborate on the same page.
Shared screens, highlighted mouse clicks, follow a user's clicks through the site, shared form content, chat, audio chat.
Most features require a modern grade-A browser with websockets and webRTC support, so Firefox, Chrome, Safari. IE10 will do some things, but is not supported.
Ask users to join you in a Together session by sending them an invite, or configure the module to autostart the session for any user you have given permissions to (could be a not logged in user). -
Invite people to join you in a collaboration session.
Your users can send a unique TogetherJS url to a friend, when that link is opened the friend will join the session.
You can have many people in one shared session. -
When they arrive at the site they can join the session and start to chat.
Each user sees the same page and can interact with it together in real time. -
If the user is logged in their user name and user image will be used. Otherwise they will be given a user name and image which they can change.
-
If the browsers have WebRTC support you will be able to participate in "browser to browser" audio chat.
Your browser will ask you to enable your microphone for the session. Browser support for WebRTC is currently limited but increasing rapidly. -
Optionally configure the module to highlight where the people click and where their mouse moves on the page.
-
Screens are shared between all participants. Each participant's mouse and clicks are shown in a different colour.
-
Users can follow participants - if the leader clicks through to another page the other participants will follow.
They will only be able to follow if they can visit that page with their Jamroom user permissions. So if you are logged in as admin, and they are not logged in, they won't be able to follow you to an ACP page, they will just be left behind.
You would need to nudge them to join you when you are back on a page which is accessible to them. -
If they are not following, nudge a participant to join you if they are on a different page, or join them on that different page.
-
Form content is also shared, but it is only the person clicking "update" who actually saves the data.
So you can collaboratively fill in a form together before the person creating the item or updates the form.
Obviously, if you are sharing screens this will allow another user to see the content on your screen. So just be careful and do not show sensitive information. -
You configure the module to give different groups and/or quotas access to the scripts, and the start button.
So, for example, you could allow the script for everyone, but only show the start session button to admins. This can be useful in a support/help scenario.
Or you can enter a bunch of user ids in the config as Collaborators to limit to specific users.
Or you can configure on a per quota basis, it depends on what you need for your site.
