I think we have to make it web facing. If we want the web to be competitive with other platforms, which I hope we do, we have to expose this functionality. However it definitely has a lot of > 2. Security/Privacy concerns so we'd have to be careful with how we do it. For example always showing an on-screen indicator indicating that the screen is currently shared. And reminding the user that password etc can be read by the remote party. And forcing the user to explicitly choose the option rather than just clicking a "yes" button (aka 'whatever button') might be a good idea. It would also be cool to enable sharing just a particular app, or a particular browser tab. This is a problem that I see in native apps often. At some video conference someone wants to share a slideshow, but they end up showing their mail inbox or other open documents that happen to be on screen at the same time. In fact, we could display a list of running apps/tabs and then add an entry for "full screen". Then force the user to actively choose one of the options in the list before clicking a "share <appname>" button. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
