rfbrazier / screen-capture

An exploration of screen capture in browsers.

Screen capture and sharing

This repo is an exploration of screen capture in browsers, including using screen capture streams in WebRTC sessions with Twilio Video.

Chrome extension

In the /extension directory is a minimal implementation of a Chrome extension that will give access to streams from the chrome.desktopCapture API.

Screen capture in Chrome

In the /chrome directory is an HTML page that takes advantage of the extension and captures the desktop to show within a <video> element on the page.

Note

You will need to load your own version of the Chrome extension into your browser and replace YOUR_EXTENSION_ID_HERE with your own extension ID.

You will also need to serve the file from a local web server so that you can visit it on localhost.
