screen-share

README.md

<screen-share>

This Web Component follows the open-wc recommendation and is meant to be used with the OpenTok Video SDK.

A Vonage Video API account will be needed.

A goal is to simplify the code needed to create a chat room quickly. This Web Component will enable screen sharing functionality.

Installation

npm i @vonage/screen-share

Usage

import from node modules

<script type="module">
  import '@vonage/screen-share/screen-share.js';
</script>

OR using a CDN

<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/@vonage/screen-share@latest/screen-share.js?module"></script>

place tag in HTML

<screen-share></screen-share>

Attributes that can be used (optional):

  • properties : (Object) the properties used to publish the screen share. Find the full list in the documentation.
  • start-text : set the text of the button to begin screen sharing. Default is "start screenshare".
  • stop-text : set the text of the button to end screen sharing. Default is "stop screenshare".
<screen-share start-text="start" stop-text="stop"></screen-share>

Styling

The Web Component uses the CSS pseudo-element ::part for styling. So you can style it the same way you would style a regular button element. Here's an example:

screen-share::part(button) {
  font-size: 20px;
  color: white;
  background-color: black;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

Getting it to work

  1. Get a reference to the Web Component.
  2. Generate a Session and Token.
  3. Pass Session and Token into Web Component reference.

Note: This can vary with library / framework (see examples folder)
