What is Train Lens?

Train Lens gives trainers live visibility into hands-on software training. Instead of repeatedly stopping a session to ask whether everyone is keeping up, a trainer can see each shared trainee screen and identify where support is needed.

Who is Train Lens for?

Train Lens is designed for trainers delivering live, hands-on software training to remote, hybrid or multi-location groups.

It helps trainers support people who are actively working inside software, and not simply watching a presentation.

How does a Train Lens session work?

1. The trainer creates a session and shares the joining link with the trainees.
2. Each trainee opens the link, enters their name and joins the session.
3. Trainees choose when to share their screen with the trainer.
4. The trainer views the shared screens together and follows how the group is progressing.
5. A trainee can request help when they need assistance.
6. The trainer can focus on that trainee and provide private guidance without disrupting the rest of the group.

What can the trainer see?

The trainer can see the screens that trainees have actively chosen to share during the session.

Shared screens are visible to the trainer, not to the other trainees in the group.

Does Train Lens record trainee screens?

No. Train Lens transmits shared screens during the live session but does not record or store them.

A trainee can stop sharing their screen at any time.

Does Train Lens control a trainee’s computer?

No. Train Lens gives the trainer visibility into the shared screen, but it does not provide remote control of the trainee’s computer.

The trainee remains in control of their device and the screen-sharing connection.
