When AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity answer questions about screen sharing software, TeamViewer comes up most consistently, appearing in 25% of AI visibility and cited in 50% of AI-generated source references across the category. Zoom ranks second, recognized for its broad adoption in meetings and webinars. CrankWheel rounds out the top three, particularly in sales-focused screen sharing use cases.

The rankings reflect which brands have built the strongest presence across the sources AI engines trust most. The top cited domains include youtube.com, zapier.com, and guideflow.com alongside brand-owned sites like teamviewer.com and splashtop.com. That mix of tutorial content, workflow integration guides, and how-to resources signals that AI engines reward brands with practical, third-party coverage rather than just homepage authority or paid placements.

If you are comparing brands on this page, pay attention to which tools have strong coverage in your specific use case, whether that is remote IT support, sales demos, or team collaboration. AI engines weight recent third-party content heavily, so a brand with active coverage on review aggregators and tutorial platforms will rank higher even if a competitor has a larger installed base. Niche fit, not just brand size, drives visibility here.

What we observed in this categoryauto-generated

TeamViewer holds the top composite score at 32.5, despite Zoom having higher raw visibility at 37.5 percent versus TeamViewer's 25.0 percent. The gap matters because TeamViewer converts that presence into citations at a 50.0 percent rate, while Zoom has a 0.0 percent citation rate. This means Google AI Mode names Zoom frequently in responses but does not point users to its domain, making TeamViewer the functionally stronger AI presence where source trust is the measure.

The visibility-citation divergence is sharp across the top five brands. Zoom and Discord both carry non-zero visibility scores (37.5 and 12.5 percent respectively) yet hold 0.0 percent citation rates, meaning AI responses mention them without linking them as sources. CrankWheel, by contrast, achieves a 25.0 percent citation rate on only 12.5 percent visibility, a pattern that suggests its domain content is being treated as a reference source rather than just a named option.

All ten audited brands share Google AI Mode as their top engine, with no alternative engine appearing in the data, indicating this category's AI visibility is entirely concentrated in one surface. The top cited sources list is anchored by third-party review and tutorial platforms including youtube.com, zapier.com, g2.com, and guideflow.com, alongside brand-owned domains teamviewer.com and crankwheel.com. Major incumbents such as Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and GoTo Meeting each score 0.0 across all metrics.

How to read this ranking

Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.

Visibility = being named

A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →

Citation rate = being trusted

Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →

Top engine differs by brand

The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →

Rankings move month to month

AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
