Building a Low-Latency Screen Share: WebRTC SFU vs. Alternatives
A developer needed a real-time screen share for teachers to control slides from a web app. After evaluating P2P mesh, MCU, SFU, and hybrid architectures, they chose SFU for its low latency and scalability. The project had a two-week deadline, ruling out complex custom WebRTC modifications.
