Directional screen sharing in conference | When using directional screen sharing in a conference with SipFilter, if the internal participant is not allowed to share their screen and they override existing sharing externally (that IS allowed to share), There is no new invite that we can block for preventing this scenario. The only way is to manage external users in the meeting and block the sharing in the FE. Therefore, if you want to solve this issue you must to do the following steps:
The EDGE will manage the users in the database (who join and who leave) and the FE will force the screenshare based on that If the customer would like to block external participants from seeing Desktop of internal for anonymous (done through webapp) - Bastion is required If the customer would like to block external participants from seeing Desktop of internal to Windows client - only sip should be installed on FE and Edge servers (Bastion is not required) |
Installing SIP Filter on the Front End may cause resource consumption and should be done following Ethical Wall Best Practice Tips
