Screen sharing

You don't need anything but you only can share the entire screen.

You need an extension but you can decide to share only one window and not the whole screen.

Check your Hardware

You may check your audio and video by using the number https://conf.dfn.de/webapp/?conference=9791. It is like the Skype's "Echo / Sound Test Service". Your will see your mirror image with a certain delay and the sound is delayed as well.

Troubleshooting

Linux: Microphone problems

If other participants can't hear you, check if your microphone is plugged in. If it is follow this instructions:

  1. Open PulseAudio Volume Control. (The icon is located on your panel.)

  2. Go to "Input Devices".
  3. Check if all input devices will be shown.
  4. If you found the microphone which is plugged in, check the muting button. The colour should be the same as the background colour.
