Deskreen
Deskreen is a wireless screen mirroring and virtual display tool that streams a computer screen or specific application windows to any device with a web browser. It functions as a virtual display streamer and a web-based secondary monitor, allowing users to extend their desktop workspace to remote devices over a local network.
The system supports end-to-end encrypted screen sharing to protect display data and utilizes virtual display adapters to treat remote browsers as extended screens. It includes capabilities for multi-device broadcasting, enabling a single video source to be mirrored across several connected devices simultaneously.
The tool provides security and session management through connection password protection, trusted device restrictions, and active connection monitoring. Additional utility features include real-time video quality optimization and screen orientation flipping to support teleprompter hardware.
Features
- Screen Mirroring - Provides the core capability to transmit and display a computer screen in real-time onto remote web browsers.
- Virtual Displays - Creates software-defined monitors to trick the operating system into treating network streams as physical secondary screens.
- Wireless Secondary Monitors - Allows using a web browser on a tablet or phone to act as an extra screen for a computer.
- Screen Sharing - Sends the entire computer display or a specific window to any web browser for remote viewing.
- Broadcasting & Streaming - Streams the computer screen to several connected web browsers simultaneously across a local network.
- Peer-to-Peer Streaming - Distributes a single video source to multiple peer connections simultaneously to mirror screens across several devices.
- WebRTC Implementations - Uses the WebRTC protocol for low-latency video streaming from the host computer to remote browsers.
- End-to-End Encryption - Secures the transmission of shared screen data using cryptographic methods ensuring only intended recipients can access it.
- Video Quality Adjustments - Enables real-time modification of stream resolution and picture quality to balance bandwidth and visual clarity.
- Application Window Capture - Allows limiting the shared stream to a specific application window instead of the entire desktop.
- Video Stream Transformations - Provides real-time video rotation and flipping in the browser to support teleprompter hardware.
- HTTP Device Discovery - Implements a local web server to facilitate initial connection and pairing between the host and remote browsers.
- Stream Persistence - Ensures continuous connectivity by preventing system sleep and automatically reconnecting after hardware interruptions.
- End-To-End Encryption Systems - Protects computer display data using end-to-end encryption for secure remote viewing on trusted devices.
- Authorized Device Whitelisting - Restricts screen streaming access to a predefined list of known, trusted devices to prevent unauthorized viewing.
- Stream Access Passwords - Protects remote streams with passwords to enhance security and manage authorized access.
- Screen Orientation Management - Inverts the displayed image to ensure the stream reads correctly when used with teleprompter hardware.
- Teleprompter Mirroring - Streams a flipped screen image to a secondary device for use as a teleprompter during recording.
- Developer Utilities - Utility to turn any device into a secondary display.
- General Productivity Tools - Utility to turn devices into secondary displays.
