Screensharing

[rockneverdies55]

Does the current video feature supports screensharing?
If not, is it among the planned features?

[Sing-Li]

Not yet.

And yes it is planned - webrtc styled video screen sharing. Might you be able to help?

[rockneverdies55]

Glad to hear. That will be very nice feature to have. Especially in development environments, screensharing is vital between developers, between developers and testers or product managers etc...

https://github.com/fishdude/meteor-RTCMultiConnection this needs to be updated and then screen can be shared.

maybe @muaz-khan and @fishdude could help us?

[muaz-khan]

Simply replace this file with https://cdn.webrtc-experiment.com/RTCMultiConnection.js.

It will be using this chrome-extension:

• https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/screen-capturing/ajhifddimkapgcifgcodmmfdlknahffk

However you can deploy or install local files as well:

• https://github.com/muaz-khan/Chrome-Extensions/tree/master/desktopCapture

If you've deployed it on Google App Store then simply put your extension-id here:

connection.DetectRTC.screen.extensionid = 'your-app-store-extensionid';

Firefox-based plugin can be found here:

• https://github.com/muaz-khan/Firefox-Extensions

BTW, it (both Chrome/Firefox) requires HTTPs.

Implemented in #989. Closing this issue.

The docs does not seem complete: https://rocket.chat/docs/user-guides/screensharing

I'm tying to find a way to test screen sharing at the demo site but I cannot find anyway to do it.

[jonaskello]

Found it, it is in the video conference feature so you need to start that first, then do screen sharing from there.

In my case audio not working after sharing screen.
