I saw some projects, but they all seem not really polished. It would be nice to be able to share sound too.

    Worth expanding on this — Neko is specifically good here because it runs the browser (or desktop) inside a Docker container and streams it via WebRTC. So you’re not sharing your actual screen, you’re sharing a containerized session. Sound works out of the box via PulseAudio in the container.

    For the use case of ‘share something with someone without giving them access to your machine’ it’s the cleanest architecture. Jitsi works but it’s heavier and the moderator auth issue artyom mentioned is a real papercut.

    One gotcha: Neko’s default image runs Chromium. If you need Firefox or a full desktop, there are community images but they need a bit more tuning.
