Share Beam Chrome extension security report

Share your screen. Beam it, instantly. Share Beam turns any browser tab, window, or full screen into a live session anyone can join with a 6-digit code — no install on the viewer's end, just a link. Hosting and joining both require a one-time email verification; nothing further is needed on future shares from the same browser. For the host Start sharing in one click, from the toolbar popup or a floating control bar that stays open while you work in other tabs See every viewer, mute their chat, grant or revoke mic access, or remove them — all live, mid-session Require approval before viewers join, with a visible countdown Two-way chat and file transfer with every viewer Record or screenshot your own share, and choose whether viewers can too A private local history of your past sessions (code, viewers, duration — kept on your device only) For viewers Join with a name, a verified email, and the code or a link — no extension needed Mute/volume and Picture-in-Picture controls that stay usable in Fullscreen A live connection-quality indicator Ask to speak — if the host grants it, your mic reaches the host directly Chat, with the host's messages clearly tagged How it works: Share Beam connects the host and every viewer directly, peer-to-peer (WebRTC) — video, audio, chat, and files travel straight between browsers, never through our servers. A small signaling server only helps browsers find each other, and never sees your screen, chat, or files. Separately, we do keep a record of session/participant metadata (names, emails, IP-derived location, timestamps) for abuse prevention and basic usage monitoring — see our Privacy Policy for exactly what that includes. Permissions, plainly: Offscreen document — hosts the screen-capture and peer connections in a hidden page so sharing keeps running even if you close the popup. Storage — remembers your current session state and a local history of past sessions, on your device only. Downloads — saves recordings/screenshots you take to your Downloads folder. Tabs — opens one-time microphone- and location-permission tabs (Chrome only shows these prompts in a real tab, not a popup), and builds the "Copy Join Link" URL.
