Details

When screen sharing as a guest in a group room, in &sstype=2 screen sharing mode, the screen share will now create a second stream for the screen share, keeping your webcam also.

&screenshareid will preset the ID the screen share will have, making the stream ID for the screen share easier to predict and prep for.

Example (&room=roomname&sstype=2&push=streamid&screenshareid)

Without this, the screen share ID in &sstype=2 mode is random, which is a decision made to increase security. This complication will be addressed in the future.

There is a toggle in the director's room which adds &ssid to the guest's invite link.

&screenshareid doesn't work with &screensharetype=3. When using &screensharetype=3 the screen share gets the appendix :s added to the stream ID of the guest. As of VDO.Ninja v23,&screensharetype=3 is default, but you can revert back to &screensharetype=2 or use the new &screensharetype=3 method post-fix :s method of identify screen shares.
