p2p Screensharing

Chat and screenshare peer-to-peer, without a server, no account needed.

This repository is a forked and updated version of purplnay/p2p-screensharing.

Introduction

Backed by no server, p2p Screensharing runs entirely in the browser to chat and screenshare with a peer. It supports both mobile and desktop (screen capture may not be available on mobile).

Public Version

A public version of the app is available here.

Once you have opened it on your browser, you can create a room, choose a username and share the room's link with the person you'd like to chat/screenshare with.

Screensharing is optional, you may start streaming at any time, stop streaming, change the window/screen that you're sharing. Audio capture may not be available, depending on your browser.
