This is not a support request or a complaint about an answer. It is a feature request based on using ChatGPT as a practical assistant for both everyday users and developers.
I would like ChatGPT to support Zoom-like screen sharing or selected-area screen sharing.
Currently, ChatGPT can answer questions if I describe the issue or upload screenshots. However, this creates friction when the problem is visual, procedural, or related to navigating a website, app, admin panel, or software interface.
Requested features:
- Allow users to share a specific browser window, app window, or selected screen area with ChatGPT
- Let ChatGPT inspect the shared screen and help users understand what they are seeing
- Help users find menus, buttons, settings, forms, or next steps when they are confused
- Help users learn new software features by looking at the actual interface
- Help users troubleshoot website/app usage problems without requiring repeated screenshots
- For developers, combine the shared screen context with tools like the GitHub connector so ChatGPT can map visual UI issues to relevant source files
- Provide simple annotation, marking, or whiteboard-style explanation tools on the shared screen
- Give users clear start/stop controls and selected-area sharing for privacy
Use cases:
- A user cannot find a menu or setting on a website
- A user is learning how to use a new software feature
- A user is stuck while filling out a form or navigating a service
- A user needs help understanding an error message or confusing screen
- A developer is reviewing UI/UX or debugging layout issues
- An admin is working with an ERP/admin panel and needs guidance
- A team wants to discuss a screen visually without uploading many screenshots
For example, when using an ERP, website admin panel, or even an ordinary online service, the user may not know which menu to open, which button to click, or why the screen looks wrong. If ChatGPT could see a shared screen or selected area, it could guide the user much more naturally and accurately.
For development work, this would also be very useful because ChatGPT could compare the actual rendered UI with source code from GitHub and suggest more accurate file-level fixes.
This would make ChatGPT more useful not only as a development assistant, but also as a general real-time assistant for navigating websites, learning software, solving UI confusion, and collaborating visually.
