Are there any options to facilitate quick and easy screen sharing with audio on Mattermost? I’m especially looking for open source options, but commercial is somewhat acceptable at this point.

Zoom seems to be more centric to video calls / conferences sans screen sharing. In my case I need participants in “calls” to be able to share screens and to allow participants to control each others’ screens as needed.

Totally agree. This was one advantage of Hipchat.

I found a tool that could be rather well suited for this if we could get it integrated properly:

this still remains an unsolved issue with webrtc and modern browsers by the way. While its “easy” to share a screen the browser sandboxing prohibits other users from taking control of the screen.
