simpleWebRTC RemoteMedia videos not containing proper screenCapture bool

Question

I'm trying to implement some WebRTC video via SimpleWebRTC React component library.

Im having issues with sharing a screen from User A, and viewing it from user B.

When sharing, User A's LocalMedia contains a media object with screenCapture: true

When joining the room and viewing the remote media, User B's RemoteMedia does not contain any media objects that have screenCapture: true, but one of the media items is identical apart from that key / value.

<SWRTC.RequestDisplayMedia render={(getDisplayMedia) => {
  return <AppButton onClick={() => { getDisplayMedia() }} warning>
    <ScreenShare style={{fontSize: 20}} />
  </AppButton>
}} />

This is the <RequestDisplayMedia /> component code I am using to share my screen from User A's UI, but I can't seem to find if there is anywhere else I need to define / setup this screenShare to be appropriately captured as such.

Console logs from Local / remote media perspectives

Answer 1

SimpleWebRTC dev here. This issue should be fixed now in 1.7.1.

We were not previously signaling to peers the fact that that a video was a screen capture.

Thanks for the report!
