We don’t have any examples at present, but Wowza does [support](https://www.wowza.com/specs.html) RTMP screen share codec, also mentioned [here](https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?732-Screen-codec) And there was something called jscrap that worked with Wowza, but am not sure where that is now.

Also checkout Wirecast, I think has a screen share feature Richard ---

It is very possible that app will work with Wowza as well. Another option is [VLC](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29). I used VLC command: ```auto vlc -vvv screen:// --screen-fps 15 --sout "#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=150,scale=0.5,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port=10000,mux=ts}" ``` And re-streamed following the [MPEG-TS Guide](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder%28MPEG-TS-based-encoder%29) Richard ---

Do you have any examples on developing a screenshare app with wowza? ---

Hi, As Richard mentioned, Telestream provides a Desktop Presenter, a small application for transmitting a computer’s desktop across the network into Wirecast. When enabled, a desktop screen can be sent through Wirecast to Wowza. For more information, see the [Telestream download site](http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-wirecast.asp?prodid=wirecast#dp). -Tim ---

We are developing an application will do screen share and also record it as a video file. Now i have read about jrcrap and screen share codec which i cant find anywhere, then there are many other 3rd party desktop share apps in java which possibly could be integrated within our flash app using wowza. But i am wanting to know what can i use which can seamlessly work best with wowza. I desperately need help here and if you have some examples available related this then i would be very grateful. ---

is that the best option? As wirecast itself is $500. Isn’t [red5-screenshare](https://code.google.com/p/red5-screenshare/) a better solution? It is free and all we need is to integrate a jar file and it will work on all platforms.
