Introduction

The VEDAMO Co-browser (collaborative browsing) feature grants you the ability to access an embedded browser and navigate it in real-time. With joint navigation of a web page, hosts can interact and collaborate online with the participants in the session. Depending on your teaching method you can use this feature to add more interactivity to your lessons, like adding games/icebreakers or just showing content that cannot be easily shared via screen share, whiteboard, etc.
