Objective

Adding screen sharing to an app.

Applies To

• Video API
• Screen Sharing

Procedure

You can publish a stream that uses a video view of your screen (instead of a camera) as the source. Screen sharing is an effective way to collaborate. Here are just a few ways customers use screen sharing:

• Enable users to share content or present slides and documents.
• Enable co-viewing of media and events.
• Power virtual classrooms or seminars.
• Build knowledge sharing applications.
• Power interactive e-consultations.
• Enhance customer support

A client connected to the session can subscribe to the stream (and view it), just as they would subscribe to a stream that uses a camera as the source.

Detailed instructions for adding screen sharing to your Web or mobile app can be found in the documentation below:
