Hello,

In order to implement screen sharing, you will need an encoder software that will run on your computer that is able to perfrom a screen capture, encode it and push it to a Wowza server. The screen capture part is done by the encoder software.

Once the screen capture is properly encoded, the encoder will push that stream to your Wowza server, where you can ingest it and make it available for your playback clients.

Please take a look at the “[How to set up live streaming using an RTMP-based encoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder)” forum article for instructions on how to publish a stream to Wowza.
