Walk someone through a fix, teach a workflow, or invite a second pair of eyes. Stream your terminal to a
browser while you stay in control of the keyboard.
Ask the host for their viewer link, then open it directly or paste it here.
Keep the whole link, including everything after #. You do not need to install the CLI to
watch.
Show your work as it happens
01 / WATCH TOGETHER
A read-only front row
Invite up to 100 viewers. They see terminal output, colors, and resizes in their browser. Late
arrivals start with your current screen. Viewers can pause and rewind up to five minutes of output
received since joining, within a 32 MiB memory limit.
02 / STAY IN CONTROL
A private host panel
See viewer counts, pause updates, lock new admissions, adjust expiry, or end sharing. Your shell and
any local recording keep running.
03 / SHARE PRIVATELY
Encrypted from your terminal
Terminal output is encrypted before it leaves your computer and decrypted by viewers. The complete
viewer link carries access, so share it with people you trust.
Start your own session
Install TermBackTime
Use the installation guide on the computer you want to share.
Viewers only need a browser.
Open a live shell
termbacktime live
The CLI prints a viewer link and a separate private host-control link. Your terminal session
begins in the shell it opens.
Invite viewers and keep working
Send the complete viewer link to your audience. Keep the host-control link for yourself. Use the
host panel to pause or end sharing, or type exit to finish the shell.
