this looks very similar to this webrtc sample by muaz khan: https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/Pluginfree-Screen-Sharing/... If you use his code you should reference him

Yes, it is a fork of webrtc-experiment.com, we reference Khan on the mit code at https://ba.net/screen-share-party/doc/opensource

I still remember the glorious days when “party” meant dropping acid and a bunch of people getting naked in the spare room. Ah, the glorious days of...February. But, sure, WebRTC. Let’s give it a shot.

OK this actually made me lol. Thank you.

"Up to 10 friends can view your screen. Limited by your CPU/RAM" - what hardware specifications are required for this limit? Could I invite more people with faster CPU and more RAM?

I imagine there isn’t a very clear spec per user because it depends on a lot of factors. I imagine you could share one video encode between many users but only if their bandwidth can accommodate the same bitrate. If not there might be two concurrent encodes.

I know modern Intel CPUs have hardware based transcoding for H264 but I’m not 100% sure whether WebRTC uses it.
