SHARA review
When I’m walking someone through a crowded settings panel, it’s easy to lose them at the moment I say “click here”. SHARA puts a laser and drawing tools over the live screen on Windows 10 and 11.
Point to the button as you explain it
Press Ctrl+Space to open the wheel at the pointer. Use the Laser to point briefly, or draw an Arrow if you want the mark to stay while you explain the setting. The laser trail fades on its own. Press Ctrl+Win+B to clear the drawing before moving on. The Laser, Arrow and Clear All are available on the free tier.
Check what the other person can see
For Zoom or Teams, share the screen containing the demonstration. A single-window share can leave the overlay out. I’d ask someone to confirm they can see one arrow before I start. Mashyo’s founder, Mohamed Fakhry, teaches design software, which is where he ran into the problem of showing small on-screen actions. If I need a still to send afterwards, I’d make a separate annotated capture with CleanShot X on a Mac.
Anabel’s take
I’d use SHARA live when two controls look alike and I need people to see exactly which one I mean. For a clip people will replay, I’d add the setting’s name in the edit so they can find it when they scrub back.
