It's a brilliant tool! Picture quality is excellent - I guess due to peer-to-peer - and the quality of the product also generally feels high. I recommended it to a new team just today.

But the audio connection seems to keep going for a few seconds after you close the pairing screen. Could be seriously embarrassing if someone utters something after thinking they've ended the call.

I'm pretty sure this isn't true, but if you can reproduce it, please do let me know and we'll fix asap! [email protected].

Lol I'm not lying to you! I almost always hear an end-of-call sigh from the other person that I'm sure they aren't expecting to broadcast because they think they've ended the call, but nothing embarrassing yet!

I'll try to screen-record my next interaction and show you. I think the problem is closing the window shuts down the screen link but not the whole pairing session, but people don't realise they need to separately end the call.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you were :)

Ah hah! This is totally it. Closing the screen share does not end the call (intentionally). I can decide I don't want to see your screen any more, but still want to talk to you. Definitely a debatable design decision, though. It actually used to work the other way.

I wonder if it would be helpful to let this be a user-configurable option? Tuck a checkbox in settings and let the users decide?

They doesn’t really seem like a bug then, it should be possible to close the screen sharing without ending the call. Maybe you want to continue chatting.
