Every few minutes the sharer gets a popup asking if they want to continue sharing the screen, while the popup is shown the viewer can't control anything. This is important in case the sharer forgets to close the connection.
Pro Allows viewer to make actions
If the user that shares their screen doesn't touch the mouse/keyboard the viewer can control them which makes it easy take actions instead of explaining by voice.
Cons
Con Only works on Amoled displays
Pixoff makes use of Amoled's unique ability to individually turn off pixels, and won't work on LCD (IPS) panels.
Con Single user only
