Locus Screen Sharing Extension

Locus makes video conferencing more like in-person conversations. This extension enables screen sharing from within Locus for enhanced collaboration.

Your screen is only shared when you choose to share it from within a Locus room. In most cases your screen is transmitted directly to active participants in your room (some network / firewall configurations require us to relay through a Locus server). In no case is shared audio, video, or screen capture data retained by Locus.
