Screen sharing is Figr’s most powerful context-building feature. Show Figr your actual product in action to build comprehensive understanding that no document or screenshot can match.
Environment Setup:✅ Use staging or demo environment✅ Prepare realistic test data✅ Close sensitive tabs/applications✅ Test screen sharing permissions✅ Plan 3-4 key user flows to demonstrate

Start Screen Sharing
Initiate from Figr project:
Sharing options:
Entire screen: Best for comprehensive demos
Application window: Focus on specific app
Browser tab: Web application demos
Mobile device: Via USB debugging or simulator

Guided Navigation
What to show Figr:
Core Workflows
Edge Cases
Interaction Details
Primary user journeys:
1. User login and dashboard arrival2. Primary task completion (e.g., create project)3. Data entry and form interactions4. Navigation between major sections5. Settings and account management
Important variations:
1. Empty states (new user, no data)2. Error scenarios (validation, network issues)3. Loading states (slow connections, large datasets)4. Different user types (admin vs. regular user)5. Mobile responsive behavior
How things actually work:
1. Form validation timing and messages2. Search and filtering behavior3. Drag-and-drop interactions4. Modal and overlay patterns5. Navigation and breadcrumb behavior
Observed patterns:- Main navigation structure and hierarchy- Breadcrumb usage and paths- Back button behavior- Deep linking and URL patterns- Cross-section navigation flows
User Behavior
Real usage insights:- Where users typically start tasks- Common path variations- Points of confusion or hesitation- Shortcuts and power user patterns- Mobile vs. desktop differences
How your interface actually behaves:
Form Patterns:- Validation timing (on blur, on submit, real-time)- Error message placement and styling- Success feedback and confirmations- Auto-save behavior and indicatorsData Display:- Table sorting and filtering patterns- Pagination vs. infinite scroll- Loading states and skeleton screens- Empty state handling and CTAsNavigation:- Menu collapse/expand behavior- Active state indicators- Hover effects and micro-interactions- Mobile navigation patterns
Good narration:"I'm clicking on Projects because that's where users typically start their workflow. Notice how the sidebar stays collapsed on tablet sizes...""This error message appears because we validate email addresses in real-time. Users often miss this if they're typing quickly...""The dashboard loads slowly with lots of data, so we show these skeleton components to maintain the illusion of speed..."

Show Multiple User Types
Demonstrate different perspectives:
Admin Users
Regular Users
New Users
Admin-specific flows:- User management interfaces- System configuration options- Bulk operations and data management- Analytics and reporting views
Standard user experience:- Core feature usage patterns- Self-service options- Limited permission interfaces- Simplified navigation
Onboarding experience:- First-time user flows- Progressive disclosure- Help and guidance elements- Setup and configuration steps

Demonstrate Edge Cases
Show what happens when things go wrong:
Error Scenarios:- Network connectivity issues- Server errors and downtime- Invalid data entry- Permission denied states- Timeout and session expiryData Variations:- Empty states and first-time use- Maximum data scenarios (full tables, long lists)- International content (different languages)- Special characters and edge case data
Demo methods:- iOS Simulator (via macOS screen sharing)- Android Emulator (via desktop screen sharing)- Physical device (via USB debugging)- Mobile browser (for web apps)Key demonstrations:- Touch interactions and gestures- Orientation changes- Push notification handling- Offline behavior
Native desktop software:
Important aspects:✅ Window management and resizing✅ Keyboard shortcuts and accessibility✅ File system integration✅ Multi-monitor support✅ Operating system integration
Security measures:- No session recording or storage- Real-time processing only- Encrypted transmission- Automatic session termination- No personal data capture
Access Controls
Team permissions:- Who can initiate screen sharing- Who can view shared sessions- Session duration limits- Approval workflows for sensitive demos
Compliance
Enterprise features:- SOC 2 Type II compliance- GDPR data handling- HIPAA-compatible sessions- Custom security policies
