There doesn't appear to be a share-window/share-screen option which feels like that makes this a non-starter for a lot of work-related applications.

I came across Jitsi just the other day, and I was so particularly impressed because it's OSS and does have a screen sharing function.

There is, just on a different domain[1]. They had an article[2] about adding it last year.

After fumbling for 10 minutes, I still can't find how to share my screen.

1) https://meet.jit.si

2) Start a channel

3) Bottom left there's a monitor icon to share your screen

It works. I hosted a meetup Friday night using it for the jackbox games.

how many people were in it? I'm trying to set something up for my family to play Jackbox with more than 10 people, google hangouts caps out at 10 and I don't really want to make everyone set up the zoom app since I'll have to do tech support for everyone. (disclaimer: I work at Jackbox, I'm in charge of the multiplayer servers)

It was about 6 people. We had issues with video and audio going through.

For the people who it was working for we didn't have a lot of issues. I'm not sure how the audio went through.(Btw this was on linux)

Is Jackbox still chicago based, or is that only the jellyvision side?

yep, still in Chicago, Jackbox and Jellyvision both (although we're completely separate now).

there is. Used it today. I deployed it last night on a do droplet and ran some tests with co-workers today.
