Screen sharing and remote control
nestorwheelock opened this issue · 0 comments
I just discovered that the jitsi electron desktop app had a feature to allow remote desktop/mouse control during screen sharing of a conference participants computer. However it was disabled due to the potential for modifications to the server to allow remote code execution and bypassing permission of the user on which the app is running. The real problem is the server being secured. I found this with Jitsi while looking for alternatives to Teamviewer
See https://github.com/jitsi/security-advisories/blob/master/advisories/JSA-2020-0001.md
and jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron@0b88a78
The reason I'm mentioning this here is to make you aware if you're considering including in your roadmap remote desktop support or other features that jitsi has already. Even the server modifications mentioned in the security advisory in the right context could actually be good features in a remote access tool especially for end user service desk support.
