Hi,
I need to know if there is a way to disable the Java screensharing option to all participants, allowing only the use of WebRTC screensharing option.
I will appreciate any help on achieving this.
Regards,
German

There's no way to turn off Java screensharing. There are browsers (IE) and network situations where WebRTC won't work so we would want the Java as a backup for those scenarios. It's similar to how you can't completely turn off Flash audio because we want it as a backup.

Once the WebRTC screensharing is a little more mature I think we can probably remove the choice and have the fallback kick in as needed.
