Option for presenter to see presented screen in the UI while presenting

[lovedota]

Hi Team Is it possible for the presenter to see their presenting screen while presenting? sometimes when we share only one tab/app we want to check how does it look like?

Hi @lovedota, we don't have that ability in the Composites today. We do have an item in our backlog but it is not actively being worked on due to other prioritizations. From an earlier proof of concept, would something like this fit what you are looking for: https://github.com/Azure/communication-ui-library/pull/3785?

Thanks @JamesBurnside Yes it is this one https://github.com/Azure/communication-ui-library/pull/3785 but the PR is closed, not sure what is the plan in the future to support it ?

[JamesBurnside]

The work to integrate it has not been scheduled, that PR was only a proof of concept. I'd like to gather feedback to help cost and prioritize this work, which of the following designs would best suit your needs:

Option	More details	Screenshot
a - Screenshare as the primary tile	The local screenshare would show as the primary tile in the video gallery, with the tile display name set as "You"
b - Screenshare as the primary tile with overlay	Same as (a) but with an overlay to clearly mark this is the local user's screenshare
c - Screenshare inside the local tile view	The local screenshare would appear small inside the local video tile, maximizing the ability to see other remote participant tiles in the Gallery.
d - Screenshare above the local tile view	The local screenshare would appear above the local video tile.
e - any of the above	Any of the above would be sufficient

Thanks @JamesBurnside it is exactly what we want !!!

@JamesBurnside, I have been looking for this feature with option c or d (maximizing the other participant tiles to be displayed in the gallery while screen is being shared having been able to see the shared window inside local video tile.) Is this published and available in the library? Also, is there a way to localize the sharing tab text below

Hi @sandhya-1989

Is this published and available in the library?

Currently no, those are design concepts only and have yet to be implemented. There is no ETA for this feature as of today as the work is yet to be scheduled.

Also, is there a way to localize the sharing tab text below

This text is not controllable by a website, but is controlled by the Browser language. If you change the browser language, you will see this localized.

e.g., in Edge, go to edge://settings/languages There you can set a language, for example, switching to french:

Will set that text to french:

Got it @JamesBurnside. Thank you for taking time and responding.
