Teams: real-time collaboration

Updated Oct 20, 2026

Teams and Enterprise plans can work on the same note together, see who else from the team is online, and share a live view of a window with the rest of the team.

Sharing a note

Open any note and choose Share in its toolbar. Every teammate who opens the same note afterward is editing the same live document - your changes and theirs merge automatically, even if you were both typing at once or one of you was offline for a moment. A small stack of colored initials above the note shows who else currently has it open.

Choose Shared (in the same spot) to stop sharing - the note goes back to being private to you, and nobody else's future edits reach it.

Nothing is lost if two people edit at the same time, and nothing is lost if you go offline mid-edit and reconnect later - your changes are kept and merged in once you're back online.

Who's online

If your account belongs to a team, a small row of colored initials appears in the command strip showing who from your team is currently using the product. It updates automatically as people come and go.

Presenting a window

Any open window can be presented to your team, read-only. Look for the presentation icon in a window's title bar; turning it on starts streaming that window's contents to your team a few times a second. Turning it off stops the stream.

While presenting, open the window's own address to get a link you can send to a teammate - anyone on your team who opens it sees exactly what's on your screen in that window, updating live, without needing the product open themselves. They can only watch; nothing they do there reaches back to you.

Use Share on an open NextOS window to start a live capture. Window sharing is available on every plan; Plus can share the whole NextOS browser tab. The browser asks you to confirm the current NextOS tab before capture starts. A window share crops that tab to the selected app window; a desktop share includes the rest of the NextOS tab. Physical screens and other browser tabs are not shared.

By default, anyone with the viewer link can watch without signing in. The link expires after one hour by default; the host can choose 15 minutes, 24 hours, or 7 days, and can end the share immediately with Stop sharing. The viewing token is carried in the URL fragment, so it is not sent in HTTP requests or referrers. Treat the complete link as a bearer link: anyone who has it can watch until it expires or is stopped. Up to 12 viewers can connect to one share.

Teams+ collaboration lets a signed-in, active team member ask to control the shared NextOS window. The host must explicitly approve each request; approval lasts at most 60 seconds and can be revoked sooner. Remote input is limited to the shared NextOS content. View-only links, including anonymous viewers and team members without collaboration access, never send keyboard or pointer input.

The capture requests up to 60 frames per second. Network conditions and browser WebRTC adaptation can lower the delivered rate; the viewer shows the measured FPS. The capture remains scoped to the selected NextOS tab and its visible app content.
