Screen sharing

[gempa-dirk]

Hi,

In jitsi it seems that I cannot pin a user sharing a screen or video such that everyone follows that user. Now, if people join a session and share their screen while I have maximized another screen-sharing session, very frequently jitsi will loose the focus and show the new user instead. This is very disturbing and forces me to have 2 jitsi sessions in parallel: 1 for general video communication and another one for sharing screens by all participants.

Do you have any advice or can this behaviour be fixed?

Thanks,
Dirk

Disallow screen sharing

Hi all, video and audio can be muted by the moderator but screen sharing is always possible. Can you add an option to the settings menu of the moderator to disallow screen sharing? The problem in jitsi is that I cannot pin a user sharing a screen or video such that everyone follow that user. Now, if people join a session and share their screen while I have maximized another screen-sharing session, very frequently jitsi will loose the focus and show the new user instead. This is very disturbing…

Hi @Freddie,

thanks. However, this is actually 2 issues: one for disabling screen sharing (thank you for answering), the other one is that the users which are focuses cannot be pinned and the focus often gets lost, as more users share screen. This is extremely disturbing.
