Screen Share States
Two TelephonyConversationStates show whether screen share is being received or sent.
These states are changed on "onConversationUpdated" event.
Start Screen
Sharing a screen to remote participant on TelephonyConversation will trigger
"onConversationUpdated" event. First it needs to be checked
if conversation has canStartScreenShare
capability, and if it does, then call TelephonyConversation.startScreenShare as it is shown in the snippet
below:
var conversation;
// ...
// Here we choose conversation on which we want to share screen.
// ...
if(conversation.capabilities.canStartScreenShare)
{
// Start screen share
conversation.startScreenShare();
}
In order to choose which screen will be shared please refer to MultimediaController.selectMonitor and
MultimediaController.highlightMonitor API as well as Monitor Selection And Highlight (Screen Share) tutorial.
Stop Screen Share
To stop sharing a screen to remote participant on TelephonyConversation it needs to be checked if conversation has
canStopScreenShare capability, and if it does,
then call TelephonyConversation.stopScreenShare. After stopping screen sharing
"onConversationUpdated" event is fired. It is shown in the
snippet below how to achieve this.
var conversation;
// ...
// Here we choose conversation on which we want to stop screen sharing.
// ...
if(conversation.capabilities.canStopScreenShare)
{
// Start screen share
conversation.stopScreenShare();
}
