I saw some projects, but they all seem not really polished. It would be nice to be able to share sound too.

      Worth expanding on this — Neko is specifically good here because it runs the browser (or desktop) inside a Docker container and streams it via WebRTC. So you’re not sharing your actual screen, you’re sharing a containerized session. Sound works out of the box via PulseAudio in the container.

      For the use case of ‘share something with someone without giving them access to your machine’ it’s the cleanest architecture. Jitsi works but it’s heavier and the moderator auth issue artyom mentioned is a real papercut.

      One gotcha: Neko’s default image runs Chromium. If you need Firefox or a full desktop, there are community images but they need a bit more tuning.

    Unsure what you want to accomplish exactly, but if all you need is just literally to share your desktop and the sound from it, OBS Studio is great for that. It doesn’t even matter if whatever video platform you’re using supports screen sharing, you can just do it yourself very easily using OBS’s dead-simple Virtual Camera feature.

    I mean Jitsi is the most obvious solution.

    I use MiroTalk since Jitsi implemented “moderator” authorization.
