Have you tested to screen share with https://demos.openvidu.io/openvidu-call/#/

It is working for me in ubuntu, windows and mac.

[prasanna_purohit]

yes sometimes it’s working and sometimes it’s showing an error of as I have shown, i’m using ubuntu 20.04 and latest version of chrome, and https://demos.openvidu.io/openvidu-call/#/ its written in angular right? let me explain what i had done to get screen share.

1. i went to openvidu github link and cloned openvidu project from https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-tutorials

2. i used https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-tutorials/tree/master/openvidu-js-node
   OPENVIDU-JS-NODE.

3. i copied same app.js and renamed it to screen.js

4. in screen.js i had changed code as below

    var OV;
    var session;
    var screenpublisher;
    var sessionName;	// Name of the video session the user will connect to
    var token;			// Token retrieved from OpenVidu Server 
    var screenaudioEnabled = false;	// True if the audio track of screenpublisher is active
    var screenvideoEnabled = true;	// True if the video track of screenpublisher is active
   

   screenpublisher = OV.initPublisher('screen-container', { audioSource: undefined, // The source of audio. If undefined default microphone videoSource: 'screen', // The source of video. If undefined default webcam publishAudio: false, // Whether you want to start publishing with your audio unmuted or not publishVideo: true, // Whether you want to start publishing with your video enabled or not resolution: '320x240', // The resolution of your video frameRate: 24, // The frame rate of your video insertMode: 'APPEND', // How the video is inserted in the target element 'video-container' mirror: false // Whether to mirror your local video or not });
