Is it possible?

I actually recently added this for testing purposes. This isn't a supported feature and I have no plans of adding additional functionality or a UI around it. However, you can activate screen share with a macro or from the dev console by running game.webrtc.client._shareDesktopTracks(); and return to normal camera/video sharing by running game.webrtc.client._initializeLocal(game.webrtc.client.settings.client);.

The original functionality was added in this commit: db9e615

I just tried this but it doesnt seem to work.
Error:
message: "Failed to detect desktop picker"
name: "gum.electron_desktop_picker_not_found"

Is this using the electron app version of Foundry? That will almost certainly not work. I’ve only tested it from Chrome and Edge.

Ya, works fine in the browser but it does not work in the app.

That makes sense. It seems electron doesn’t have the ability to handle a screen share request.
