Screen Sharing

Better Messages WebSocket version supports screen sharing during video calls, audio calls, and group chats.

How it works​

During an active call, users can share their entire screen or a specific application window with other participants. Screen sharing uses WebRTC technology and is available during 1-to-1 video calls, 1-to-1 audio calls, group video chats, and group audio chats. The shared screen appears as a video stream for other participants.

Requirements​
