did you find the next video useful? BTW, this inspired me to make it a product.

[@yuyamimura9467]

[@amireshaq]

Thanks brother, Let me dive in this good content

[@sandipkundu803]

Thanks for keeping my request sir.

[@amireshaq]

yeah Sandib, I remember your request and I remember I said it was not possible. Indeed it is not possible to do it just browser to browser but possible with Electron to Electron apps or Browser controlling via Electron/Node app. We are using webRTC mainly for viewing the desktop, the rest can be through web sockets or even webRTC datachannel.

[@davidadorons]

[@leoporty2924]

@@amireshaq This topic is exactly what I've been looking for for a long time..I intend to create a remote access system and I believe that this is the best way. Valuable information. Thank you very much.

[@ovived88]

does this use ffmpeg for streaming the video ?

[@amireshaq]

no, we are using webrtc to stream media.

[@fatih-araz]

This was an amazing tutorial but part 2 is missing. :(

[@amireshaq]

I actually done part 2 but I need to edit and upload, so hopefully this coming week it will be available.

[@parvjain2960]

can i also perform same operations in react native ?

[@amireshaq]

I am not sure I understand the question.

[@sanabaid7054]

Hi Thankyou for the tutorial. Need one help here, I am trying to set this up on Linux virtual machine. However, I am getting error in desktop capturer part itself. The app just closes as soon as it reaches there and cant log any screen or window information. Could you please help me here

[@amireshaq]

Thanks sana baid. I have not tried it on Linux yet; to help you I will have to try it. give me time to setup a Linux desktop and give it a shot.

[@user-zw8fp1hd2d]

​@@amireshaq in the end what was the linux issue?

[@amireshaq]

@@user-zw8fp1hd2d hi, in fact I have it working on Mac, Win and Ubuntu Desktop. One thing I forgot to confirm with @sanabaid7054 is if the Linux VM is a Desktop (GUI based). However, my implementation is for a different application and not for this tutorial.

[@user-zw8fp1hd2d]

@@amireshaq Okey, I understand that the purpose of the user who commented was not the tutorial, but I've been testing on windows doing git clone of the second repository of your github, and I have encountered the problem that, when selecting the current screen in the Electron window, this is not being updated correctly in the ngrok, and as a last question, this ngrok could be replaced without any problem by a localhost port right? Sorry for my bad english, I am spanish and I am using DeepL

[@amireshaq]

@@user-zw8fp1hd2d sorry for late reply but I am trying to understand the issue you are facing with ngrok. BTW, if you have a domain name and a VM with public IP, you can do way with ngrok.

[@muhammedridha8842]

Please next part

[@jordantekelenburg]

Where can we download the code ?

[@amireshaq]

I havent had time to continue but I had wanted to complete the series and upload the code. May be I should upload to github for this video.
