How do I apply JitsiStreamPresenterEffect immediately on sharing the desktop

Hi, all. I’m running a local install of Jitsi. I’ve been trying for over a week to hack the source to go directly to Presenter mode after sharing the screen (desktop sharing*) instead of going to the shared screen. I’ve hooked into _createDesktopTrack, _switchToScreenSharing, and even useVideoStream but can’t seem to make it work. I’ve even tried to just fake a click with a muteVideo after _createDesktopTrack and had no luck. Any ideas?

For future generations to mock, here was my super-hacky way of doing this:

                          await this.useAudioStream(this._desktopAudioStream);
                      }
                  }
-
-               try {
-                     logger.log('Applying Presenter effect.');
-                   await desktopVideoStream.setEffect(await this._createPresenterStreamEffect());
-               }
-               catch (err) {
-                   logger.error('Applying Presenter effect failed.', err);
-               }
              })
              .then(() => {
                  this.videoSwitchInProgress = false;
