&sstype
Example: &screensharetype=3
1
Replaces the webcam screen with the screen share
2
Creates a totally new connection for the screen share
3 (default)
Reuses the existing connection, adding a second video track
This parameter can be used to specify which type of screen sharing logic is used.
screensharetype=1 replaces the webcam screen with the screen share
screensharetype=2 creates a totally new connection for the screen share
screensharetype=3 reuses the existing connection, adding a second video track; also doesn't show the local screen share window
The default &screensharetype for screen-sharing is 3 when in a room.
As a viewer or scene link, to specify only loading the &screensharetype=3 screen share, you can now use &view=xxxx:s, where :s is appended to the end of the stream ID. This tells the system to ignore the webcam/mic feed, and just send over the screen share. You can do &view=xxxx,xxxx:s to target both webcam and screen share though. I may change this syntax over time, but for now it works. The solo-links in the director's room has this :s applied already where needed.
If using &screensharetype=3 the parameter doesn't do anything.
The type-3 screen share is still not fully cooked for use in scenes, etc, and it won't yet work with , or .
