Video

Typelets includes a multi-party video room scoped to a workspace, so you can talk face to face, and share your screen, without a second tab or a separate meeting link.

Availability

Video is a deployment-gated feature. It is available when the deployment has it enabled (it is on for the hosted typelets.com). When enabled, the Video tab appears in the workspace for members with an editing role.

It is not available to:

• Viewers (read-only members).
• Anonymous guests on a public/org-shared workspace.

How it works

Video uses WebRTC through a selective forwarding unit (SFU): each participant publishes audio (Opus) and video (VP8) once, and the server forwards streams to the others. A shared screen, when one is active, is published the same way as an additional video stream. A room is created when the first participant joins and torn down when the last one leaves. TURN/STUN is provided for participants behind restrictive networks.

There is a per-room participant cap configured by the deployment.

Screen sharing

Anyone in the call can share their screen. Sharing is Meet-style: one screen is shared at a time, and starting a share while someone else is already sharing takes over from them. You do not need your camera on to share, so you can present with video off.

A shared screen opens as a tab in the editor area for everyone in the room, so it sits beside the files instead of covering the call. From that tab you can pop the screen out into a floating, always-on-top window using your browser’s native picture-in-picture, which is useful while you read or type elsewhere.

Sharing ends when the sharer stops it, uses the browser’s own “Stop sharing” control, or leaves the call.

What it is not

Video and screen sharing are a live call only. They are not captured in interview recordings - recordings contain the code and run timeline, not video or screen frames. If you need the conversation preserved, record it separately.
