mattermost-plugin-jitsi: Unable to share screen when using Jitsi embedded in desktop app

Tracked here: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-27253

we are currently working on a major architectural change on the desktop to allow native modules, which will make possible to add https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron which might help with the jitsi experience

So the linked Atlassian issue has been closed with “Don’t see any immediate need for this”. OK, here is my pitch for why this should be fixed in the nearish future: This is one of the things that makes Mattermost appear not competitive to Microsoft Teams. I know, I know, users can just open the meeting in their browser, but guess what, most users want stuff to just work, they don’t like meetings in their browser, because there are all sorts of things that broswers do that break meetings (like bad audio device permissions). Users want to be able to start a meeting from a chat channel and share their screen, just like they can in Teams. This bug makes it very hard for me to advocate convincingly for our continued use of both Mattermost and Jitsi. As a better than nothing solution, is there a way to have the plugin launch meetings in the Jitsi desktop app, instead of the browser?

OK, thank’s for the update.

That is failing for me in Linux too in desktop 4.4.0/Linux
