Screen sharing over QuickBlox Javascript SDK

I would like to use screen sharing with the JavaScript SDK of QuickBlox. The Android and the iOS QB-SDKs support already this feature, but I can’t find any hints for JavaScript support in the current version (2.5.0).

Are there some plans for screen sharing with JavaScript in the future?

You can do this with QuickBlox JS SDK, but it needs some additional logic. WebRTC API does not provide a way to natively share your screen, so Chrome/Firefox browsers plugins are needed here.

For example, I tried some time ago this logic https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/Pluginfree-Screen-Sharing/#7396622660871782

so you just pass another object to QuickBlox 'session.getUserMedia':

session.getUserMedia({ audio: true, video: {mozMediaSource: 'screen'}).
then(successCallback).
catch(errorCallback);

https://quickblox.com/developers/Sample-webrtc-web#Access_local_media_stream

and that's all

BUT

it needs to install Chrome/Firefox screen sharing plugin.

The normal way here is that each developer has its own plugin, with own App/Company name. So you can use the source code of that plugin for Chrome/Firefox from link above and build your own.
