VideoExpress.Room.ScreenPublisher

Methods Events 

Provides the mechanism for controlling the published screen-sharing stream. In order to access the screen publisher, you will need to start screen sharing first. By default, screen sharing doesn’t share audio. In order to share audio from a browser tab, the user who shares the screen must check the option “Share audio” in Chrome when the screen/tab dialog selector shows up. You can access the ScreenPublisher object via the screen property of the Room object, as follows:

await room.startScreensharing('screenSharingContainer');
const { screen } = room;

screen.on('stopped', () => {
  console.log('The screen sharing has stopped');
});

screen.on('started', () => {
  console.log('The screen sharing has started');
});

screen.on('audioLevelUpdated', (audioLevel) => {
  console.log('Audio level: ', audioLevel);
});
