Slightly off-topic, but I’ve been searching for a long time for something like this, but for text chat: go to a website; create a room; share a code/link with others; people join and chat; then at some point in the future the room simply disappears (you can save a log if you want). Ideally anonymous with the best possible cryptographic implementation.
Has anyone stumbled upon something similar? I hate having to register and login to every chat platform, especially bloated ones like Discord and Slack. The closest one to what I want is gitter but it requires a GitHub signin.
I think https://call.element.io/ works like that. Calls are encrypted and the client includes screen sharing and all the standard video conferencing features.
Jitsi Meet is also a classic example of this, though these days it requires at least one logged-in "moderator" user to work.
click create space -> choose proceed as anonymous -> In your space, use chat or other apps.
It's end to end encrypted (using the hash-frag in url as key, AES-128 bit GCM)
The reason why this doesn't usually exist is because anonymous text sharing is almost immediately taken over by people using it to do crimes. So be aware of that.
The afore mentioned webapp is based on WebRTC so, not totally unrelated.
I have nothing to advertise as I have nothing to gain from this. I just wanted to offer additional solution for people that might find it useful.
Also, judging by the other comments, it seems that someone did find it useful.
Furthermore, reading through other comments on this thread, there are a lot of other WebRTC projects mentions anyway, and many of them have nothing to do with screen sharing.
If you can get remote control to work that would be amazing. I assume that's impossible with current browser APIs though. A real pain point of Google Meet.
I too yearn for the day where my parents webbrowser can run Win+R and delete their System32 directory after they clicked "Ok" on a prompt whose message they wouldn't be able to tell me if I paid them a billion Euros for it.
Are you talking about in components/ui? If so that's ShadCN and it works by fetching components and copy/pasting them into your project rather than trying to continue to keep the components up to date.
I.e., it constructs a PeerJS Peer without manually specifying PeerOptions. That class, in turn, states,
/**
* Configuration hash passed to RTCPeerConnection.
* This hash contains any custom ICE/TURN server configuration.
*
* Defaults to {@apilink util.defaultConfig}
*/
config?: any;
Did a quick test on Demo site. It works like a charm.
One issue: when I stopped sharing, my audience (my another computer) can still see my shared screen (I assume the last frame), what I think it shouldn't. And there is no indication or whatsoever that I have stopped sharing.
I'm not sure, but is it possible to make it work on Android? I've tried on my pixel 7a, it gave me the code, I pasted it in another device in Safari, but it was only Loading... on the button.
Gave it a quick run! Works great. The notification to share your screen goes away quickly. Is there any way to get back to it? I generated a new code to fire the notification again.
I guess you visited the page right after a new deployment. This happens sometimes due to a version mismatch in Next.js after deployment. Refreshing the page should fix it!
Just deployed a new feature, audio can also be shared now! But it's only supported in Chrome and Edge, and users must select the option to share a tab. It won't work for sharing a window or whole screen.
