Shared screen in custom Mesh environment
Going by the promotional materials Mesh has a concept of the "stage" for a shared screen and gallery (where those on a standard teams call - i.e. with no avatar, appear). I don't see any way in the ...
- CameronMicka Thanks, that is very helpful information. So as I understand it, in mesh.toolkit.sharedcontent there is the concept of the controllable. This controllable is a cloud script which then orchestrates the behaviour of an artifact in a server authoritative way - for e,g. syncing the starting and stopping of a video player (which is an artifact) for each user in the event. Is that correct ? How do I add an artifact such as the "stage* to my unity project. Can I make it a child of a game object in the usual way ? Presumably it will be possible at some point to author my own cloud script to build my own controllable to control my own artifact in a server authoritative way ?? Am I "barking up the right tree" ? I can see the video player on the mesh 101 demo but it doesn't seem to have a controllable cloud script applied to it. Meaning, that I think each event participant experiences the play of the video asynchronously to others ! So I don't think it is an "artifact" in the way the stage is. Can Microsoft please update the demo to illustrate the use of the stage artifact and a mesh.toolkit.sharedcontent controllable because at the moment substantial areas of functionality do not seem to be illustrated.

MicrosoftThanks Nicholas for the feedback! Yes, you are correct the video played in Mesh 101 is not synchronized (in theory if all users are in the event when the video starts it would be synchronized, but it won't synchronize for late joiners or people in other shards). If you need a synchronized video, I recommend the "video" artifact" (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mesh/events-guide/customize-event#add-content). The video artifact is added like the stage artifact. It is added in the Mesh app after you have completed authoring and uploading your environment in Unity.
