connections is deprecated: Peer JS

I am creating a video chat application and I need to have screen share functionality. The problem is when I am screen sharing, the updated stream won't be available for other peers through the "connection" method. I need a way to replace the stream of all the peers who are currently connected with me.

Below is the code related to that. it says. connection is deprecated

 const switchStream = (stream: MediaStream) => {
setStream(stream);

//have to repalce the current stream for every conection
// Check if currentPeer exists and has connections before proceeding
if (currentPeer && currentPeer.connections) {
  // Loop through each connection
  Object.values(currentPeer.connections).forEach((connection: any) => {
    // Find the video track in the stream
    const videoTrack: any = stream
      ?.getTracks()
      .find((track: any) => track.kind === "video");

    // Replace the video track for each sender in the connection
    connection[0].peerConnection.getSenders().forEach((sender: any) => {
      if (sender.track && sender.track.kind === "video") {
        sender
          .replaceTrack(videoTrack)
          .catch((err: any) => console.error(err));
      }
    });
  });
} else {
  console.error("currentPeer or currentPeer.connections is undefined.");
}

};

Alternative Solution: instead of replacing the current stream with a display media Stream, I have connected the screen sharing as a new peer to the same room. then that real-time screen share feed will be shared to all the connected peers.
