Screen sharing & presentation-safe layouts

Share a screen without replacing the camera or breaking participant views.

Separate media sources

SStream treats the presenter's camera and shared screen as separate WebRTC sources. Starting a screen share should not replace the camera track for other participants.

Start screen sharing

  1. 1Choose Share Screen.
  2. 2Select an application window, browser tab or desktop in the browser picker.
  3. 3The shared source becomes the dominant presentation area while cameras remain in a side or bottom rail depending on viewport size.
  4. 4Use Stop Share when finished.

Presentation fitting

Presentation content uses contained sizing so slides, dashboards and desktop content remain visible rather than being cropped like a webcam tile.

Important: For text-heavy presentations, sharing an individual application window or browser tab normally produces a clearer result than sharing an entire high-resolution desktop.
