It’s always a good time when the Meshcentral team releases new and amazing features. This week is another one of these times with the Rick Edgecombe building and releasing Meshcentral’s MeshCast. A way to remotely share your webcam or desktop to a remote display over the Internet. With this new feature, you can go to the login screen of Meshcentral and hit the remote display icon. You then instantly have a remote display you can access using an on-screen rotating access code. After you have your remote display setup, using a different device to login to Meshcentral. Go in “My Friends” tab and hit the “Control Remote Display” icon. Enter the code and start sharing.
WebRTC browsers like Firefox and Chrome can share audio & video using WebRTC, but for Remote Desktop, Rick Edgecombe built a new MeshCast Chrome Browser Extension that allows users to share their full desktop displays or just one application on the desktop. Meshcentral will detect and prompt for the installation of this Chrome Extension and it’s built so other Mesh Servers can take advantage of it.
Meshcentral’s MeshCast is a powerful new way to share media streams between locations. Probably it’s best features is that it’s entirely web based and uses the powerful WebRTC protocol for over-the-internet connectivity. There are plenty of usages. From user-to-use teleconferences, to education and remote assist. With this feature, Meshcentral continue to move forward with web based development of WebRTC usages. In addition, MeshCast uses a new signaling system we added to Meshcentral servers a few weeks back. What is interesting here is that we released the new access code signaling system as part of our API and in the HTML Samples package. So not only did we enable MeshCast, developers can add new custom usages with the same signaling system. Want to use an rotating access code to securely access an IoT device? You can do that with Meshcentral.
We got more, but we will keep that for another mail. For a live blow-by-blow of what is going on, follow Meshcentral on Twitter.
