With one of the latest releases of Chrome (>34), Google changed the way webRTC works. It's not sufficient anymore to just change a hidden flag in the browser settings. Now, we need to develop a dedicated browser extension to make this work. Well, this could be work for an "interesting" bachelor thesis.
However, as a work around, we could use any free web screen sharing app out there. I tested some of them and found that https://www.mikogo.com works the best, as 1) there are now Cross Domain issues, 2) it shows the "cleanest" screen on the client side (no ads etc.). The free licence plan will do for us.
The computer whose screen is to be broadcasted needs to run a free app. The URL for the IPED Overlay should be entered like this: "https://http-49.mikogo4.com/html.viewer?command=start&simple_mode=no&sessionid=XXX-XXX-XXX&session_password=go.mikogo.com&screen_name=" while XXX-XXX-XXX should be replaced with the ID shown in the app.
