questions
Help centerWhere does the browser run?
On the host’s computer, using its processing power, internet connection and browser storage.
Can I keep using my computer?
Yes. Guest input goes to the shared browser. You can use your personal desktop at the same time. Hosting uses CPU, memory, bandwidth and storage.
What does the guest get access to?
The shared browser, its session files and any signed-in websites. Invite people you trust with those accounts and files.
Does my computer need to stay on?
Yes. Keep it awake, online and running BrowserSeat. Closing the window keeps hosting from the system tray; quitting stops it.
What is the difference between Desktop and Chrome?
Desktop creates separate browser environments. The planned Chrome extension shares a selected tab that is already open.
Can I download it yet?
Public Windows and macOS installers and the Chrome Web Store listing have not been published.
