I looked at ACS between 6-12 months ago and couldn\'t figure out how to enable screen sharing for calls; this was trivial to do with AWS Chime service. I dramatically preferred the ACS identity mechanism to AWS Chime after trying both out. \nIs there a way to get screensharing on video calls now (or did I miss it before)? If not, any plans to add this soon?

Hi Micah! Back then screen sharing feature was available only on the web. Today Screensharing is in Private Preview (through TAP program) for Android, ios, and Windows coming soon. TAP program: https://aka.ms/acs-tap-invite

- manoskow-msftMar 11, 2022Iron ContributorHi Micah! Here is a doc that outlines the feature avaialbility: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/communication-services/concepts/voice-video-calling/calling-sdk-features Here is a sample that shows screen sharing and general web calling features: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/communication-services-web-calling-tutorial/blob/main/Project/src/MakeCall/StreamRenderer.js In general, when rendering a stream for a participant, you can choose if the MediaStreamType is 'video' or 'screensharing' (link to API: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/azure-communication-services/@azure/communication-calling/mediastreamtype?view=azure-communication-services-js) Hope this help!
