Peerjs: Screen sharing

PeerJS takes in an arbitrary stream when calling peer.call. To screen
share, you just need to get a screen sharing stream from getUserMedia
instead of a webcam video stream. PeerJS doesn't differentiate when you
call another Peer. Note that screen sharing requires your site be on HTTPS.

So it should already work.

I hadn't done my research on how screen sharing works, will test it out. Thanks for all your work... you guys are awesome!

Hello, can u please help me to integrate screen sharing on PeerJS.

For those looking for Screen Sharing, as said above, you need to use a MediaStream in the same way as what you would do for call.

The way to get the MediaStream for screen sharing is:

let screenStream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia({
    video: true
});

Then simply:

peer.call(remote_peer_key, screenStream);

Hope this saves you 5 minutes ;)

could you please provide source code for screen sharing in peerjs?
thans in advance

Sorry I don't have time to provide a minimal working example for screen sharing.
But if you take any working example of video call and replace the stream as shown above, it will work.

@theevann maybe my code will help you

I'm using in my project and it's working

constructor() {
    this.peer = new Peer();
    this.peer.on('open', (id) => {
      this.id = id;
    });
    this.peer.on('call', (call) => {
      call.answer();
      call.on('stream', (remoteStream) => {
        this.videoElementRef.nativeElement.srcObject = remoteStream;
      });
    });
  }

  public async buttonHandler(evento: Event, remotoId: string): Promise<void> {
    evento.preventDefault();
    const stream = await (navigator.mediaDevices as MyMediaDevices).getDisplayMedia(
      {
        video: { frameRate: 5, width: 1280, height: 720 },
      }
    );
    const call = this.peer.call(remotoId, stream);
  }

@venkpath peer.call(remote_peer_key, screenStream);
this worked but when screenshare is ended then also on other user side that video frame is not removed .. how to remove that video element after screenshare is ended

@saini3911
Maybe listen to the "close" event on the stream and remove your video tag then ?
https://peerjs.com/docs.html#mediaconnection-on

i use that to but it remove original user face media also

i have made my project in expressjs and preerjs .. after other user connect to room why media stream is not connect .. like i other user have to refresh their tab 3-4 time to get media stream in peerjs why ?
