Using wowza webrtc with TheoPlayer, we faced a problem when the transition from video to screenshare takes a very long time and stops video playback (it can take from 10 seconds to 1 minute) Used a library from the github repository [https://github.com/WowzaMediaSystems/webrtc-examples/tree/master/src/jquery-example](https://github.com/WowzaMediaSystems/webrtc-examples/tree/master/src/jquery-example) In the video ( [https://youtu.be/4i9-o8SgYXg](https://youtu.be/4i9-o8SgYXg) ) you can see an example of how it happens instantly from the side of the wowza webrtc, but from the side of the player it takes long time cod example` if(this.share) { WowzaWebRTCPublish.setCamera('screen'); } else { WowzaWebRTCPublish.setCamera(this.videoId); }` thanks. ---

This is a wild guess; but can it be related to the recursive screen capturing - so a screen capture of a screen capture of a screen capture etc? ---

Karel thanks for your reply! If I understood correctly, then no, this is not due to the fact that I recorded the screen at that time, because it was repeated on different devices, browsers and different people without screen recording ---

I figured. Is this an issue with the screensharing: when you start with screenshare directly - without using webcam first - will that also be slow? Or is it specifically when you switch from webcam to screenshare? ---

I’m not a Wowza employee; I work at Raskenlund where we work a lot with Wowza. I think the official way to notify Wowza developers is to file a ticket with [support@wowza.com](mailto:support@wowza.com). You may also notify @Rose_Power-Wowza_Com ---
