Screen sharing issue

Hello!

Just installed OpenMeetings earlier this week and am very happy with it so far. One issue I'm having though, is screen sharing. It works fine for me in Chromium, but in Firefox it doesn't seem to work; I get the "Desktop Sharer" popup, but the window is empty.

Which browsers support this feature, and what are some common mistakes / configuration options I might not be aware of?

Thanks,
Torch.

Hello Torch,

I don't have Linux Mint to test and everything works for me on Windows
and Unubtu
Can you check browser console (usually available after F12 is
pressed)? Are there any errors?

Hello Torch,

Just have tested with FF latest at Ubuntu, works for me
What version of OM are you using?
What is your OS?
Are you using OM with "real" or self-signed certificate?
