To safeguard the security of our userstry it, Mozilla will block Screen Sharing by defaultgoto [https://mozilla. github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html getUserMedia tests]. [https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/file/d/0B1KBl68pRmhsdElXN3NwRk1HdEk/edit Simple documentation on how to try it.]

To add Screen Sharing to your sitesafeguard the security of our users, by default Mozilla blocks unknown websites/apps from using Screensharing, such that the user is not prompted. Firefox has implemented a domain whitelist that allows approved applications, if their authors satisfy specified requirementsto ask the user to allow screen/window captures.

Though we believe that Screen Sharing will become an integral part of applications and the web experience, today the authorization prompts and user education vital to maintain security are not available in sufficient and understandable to end-users, which is why we implemented a whitelist until we have a satisfactory the user experiencebetter solution.

We are testing designs for interface options that will allow users to make an informed choice on which applications whether to enable for screen sharingallow screensharing with a particular application/site, but there is the ever-present challenge of doing this in a way that both clearly informs users of the risk and doesn’t create an overly-burdensome user experience.

**Screen Sharing Screensharing on all Desktop platforms, except Mac 10.6 and WinXP ***Those platforms need to set a pref for Screen sharingScreensharing. It was disabled by default because it was crashing automated tests. If there's enough interest, we may work attempt to get them working in later, and of course contributors are welcome to work on getting 10.6 and WinXP enabled by default - contact us on IRC in #media if interested. =] ***[https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/file/d/0B1KBl68pRmhsdElXN3NwRk1HdEk/edit Use the test app to try now] ***Note: "Loop" client will leverage screen sharing screensharing in a future revision - it Loop does not use it today
