Screen Share, Scaling

Dear all,

I messed up the thread. Thus a new subject. Sorry for that.

I'm trying to summerize:

On the build

Name
OpenMeetings
Version
5.1.0-SNAPSHOT
Revision
b9b202a
Build date
2020-11-18T09:35:56Z

the possibility to enter the width and height of the screen share is
missing, when i start a screen share.

I guess it is intendend.

Maxim said those numbers did do nothing (see thread: [DISCUSSION]
release current 5.1.0 as 5.0.2)

I double checked on build:

Meet,OpenMeetings
Version
5.0.0-M5-SNAPSHOT
Revision
c5c0381
Build date
2020-05-30T05:54:17Z

see attached screenshots

Those numbers scale the shared window on the receiving side. This
feature was a great thing ....

Now I am confused ;-)

My english is quit lousy, guess i did not explain my self very well ....
but i've attached a few screenshoots ....


On 5.1.0 the drag and drag button is not displayed any longer, cause the
screen share is scaled to big.

Many thanks and sorry Maxim for messing with the thread, sending
messages in private, i'm really a lousy user of thunderbird,

No answer on the topic :)
I'll start with limiting the maximum size (already committed)
please follow OPENMEETINGS-2000
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-2000> to check the
progress

Dear all,

is there some kind of decission about the screen sharing/scaling stuff ?


I quote Maxim to describe the problem for the ones who want to read again:

this new thread should be started some iterations ago :)))

and it also illustrates how something can be easily added to open source
project, and how hard to remove it :))

I would say these numbers are misleading and the source of errors

What I propose here:
- limit the size of screen-sharing (while it is displayed) to be no more
than 90% of browser viewport i.e. the visible area of the browser
- address OPENMEETINGS-2000 by allowing to have all video pods of same size

would it be OK?
