VLC was invented to screen share video from a host computer to a group call? TIL
No, it was invented to stream video files, I don't think it's able screen share, but you can use it easily for watch parties. Thats how I understood OPs question.
Ahh makes sense I see. It may serve the same purpose just with a little more overhead
That's an interesting idea and since vlc is even able to play files that are still downloading I guess it could also stream a screen grab file that is just temporary?
You understood right, I need it for watch party. Can I use it for streaming over the internet or only my local wifi?
Do you know how to forward ports?
I can learn. What then?
Then anything that works on your lan can be accessed from the internet.
Vlc should be able to screen share as well.
