Screen Share on does not load the video

[Azhar Ali]

Hi,
Since upgrading to latest version, screen share is partially broken.

If you visit the https://demo.flashphoner.com/client2/examples/demo/streaming/screen-sharing/screen-sharing.html and share a chrome tab it does not load the video. However, if you share an application it works.
This use to work in previous version.
Any idea?

Regards
Azhar

Good day.
We have reproduced this issue in latest Chrome official build 74.0.3729.157 and will check to fix it.
As workaround, since Chrome 74 you can share screen without Chrome extension, please, enable switch "W/o extension" and check. This feature is described here in details.

Thanks for looking.

Any idea when this can be fixed? I have tried the workaround but the quality of the streams drop alot and unexpected jitteriness is experiences by the viewer

We work on it and let you know here.

This is because Chrome browser ignores video constrains when extension is not used, so it streams a high resolution picture (with real desktop or windows resolution) through a channel that may be not enough for this.

Any update on this?

Hello
Try to replace

frameRate: {max: parseInt($('#fps').val())}

with

frameRate: parseInt($('#fps').val())

It works for us in screen-sharing.js example

Good day.
We fixed this issue in WebSDK build 0.5.28.2753.95, Screen Sharing example code was fixed here as we post above.
