Welcome to the forum.

You can set the following property in your config.js to start a call with screensharing:

Thanks Freddie.
But, its still not working.
this is my code:

<head>
 <script src='https://meet.jit.si/external_api.js'></script>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://meet.jit.si/libs/lib-jitsi-meet.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.21/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>

        $(document).ready(function () {
       
            
         
            const domain = 'meet.jit.si';
            const options = {

                roomName: 'testscreenShare',
                width: 900,
                height: 700,
                parentNode: document.querySelector('#meet'),
                configOverwrite: { prejoinPageEnabled: false },
                interfaceConfigOverwrite: { TOOLBAR_BUTTONS: ['hangup', 'desktop', 'microphone', 'camera'] },
                startScreenSharing: true,
               
            };
            const api = new JitsiMeetExternalAPI(domain, options);
            //api.addEventListener('videoConferenceJoined', (response) => {
            //    //alert("Joined");
            //});
            function onBeforeUnload(e) {
                e.preventDefault();
                e.returnValue = '';
            }

            //api.on('videoConferenceLeft', (params) => { api.dispose(); window.close(); });
            //window.addEventListener("beforeunload", this.onBeforeUnload);
        });
        function getUrlVars() {
            var vars = [], hash;
            var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
            for (var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++) {
                hash = hashes[i].split('=');
                vars.push(hash[0]);
                vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
            }
            return vars;
        }
        function wait(ms) {
            var start = new Date().getTime();
            var end = start;
            while (end < start + ms) {
                end = new Date().getTime();
            }
        }
    </script> </head>
<body>
   
        <div id="meet" style="margin:0px auto; display:block;"></div>
      
</body>

Didn’t realize you’re trying to do this on meet.jit.si with iFrame. I don’t think the property is whitelisted - only whitelisted properties can be called in iFrame.

i figured it out, must mention “startScreenSharing: true” inside configOverwrite
