Projektgeschichte

Pavlo Buidenkov created Deskreen as an Electron-based application that streams a computer screen to web browsers over WebRTC. The project emphasizes compatibility with any browser-equipped receiving device and is maintained as an open-source Community Edition.

Adoptionsgeschichte

The official repository reports more than two million downloads during the five years following launch. Deskreen became available across macOS, Windows, and Linux and supports receiving devices ranging from phones and tablets to computers and smart TVs.

The open-source edition is now identified as Deskreen CE, while the official site also presents paid Pro, Teams, and custom offerings.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users run Deskreen on the source computer, scan its QR code or enter the displayed address on another device, approve the connection, select an entire screen or application window, and confirm sharing. A virtual display adapter is needed for a true extended-desktop workflow; ordinary mirroring and window sharing do not require one.

On macOS it needs Screen Recording permission, while Windows installations require appropriate private-network access. The Community Edition also supports selecting a local interface address with the --ip or --local-ip option.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Deskreen combines Electron, WebRTC, and a browser-based receiver, avoiding the need to install a client on the viewing device. It is notable to package users as a cross-platform, locally operated screen-sharing tool with transparent source code.

Its architecture illustrates a pragmatic distinction between screen sharing and a true extended desktop: the latter requires a virtual display or display adapter.
