Screen Share and Video on Flashphoner Conference Feature

Hi,

We are working on a use case where Screen Share and Webcam video both need to be shared, how we can do that in a Conference and at a time we are only able to add two people to a conference is there any way to increase the person limit ?

can each joined user share camera and screen both at the same time ?

Good day.
We are working on a use case where Screen Share and Webcam video both need to be shared, how we can do that in a Conference and at a time we are only able to add two people to a conference is there any way to increase the person limit ?
The participants number limit is set in video-chat-and-screen-sharing.html file (see at GitHub):
Code:
<head>
    ...
    <script>var _participants = 2</script>
</head>
can each joined user share camera and screen both at the same time ?
Yes, please try the example https://demo.flashphoner.com/client...en-sharing/video-chat-and-screen-sharing.html
Note that to share a screen in this example you should install a browser extension. Read also details for developer here.
We raised the ticket WCS-3234 to share screen without extension from this example.

Good day.
Since WebSDK build 2.0.177 screen sharing stream can be published without extension in all of the latest desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox, MacOS Safari). Please read example description here.
Please also note that Safari does not allow to change stream resolution and FPS for screen share stream.
 
Max, is there any other parameters involved in setting up participants apart from

JavaScript:
<script>var _participants = 2</script>
I tried this and still getting "Room is full" after 2 people joining.
 
Hi Max, We need to stream the Conference video (Combined Stream) to Social Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, is there any out of the box methods available from Flashphoner ? or We need to combine each stream using Stream Mixer Setup and send it to Social Platforms ? Please let us know.

You should either stream every participants video separately, or use stream mixer to combine all the streams to one.
Anyway, the stream can be republished to Facebook or Youtube as described here.
