| Network Media Path | Always routed via cloud voice region | Cloud media cluster | Direct P2P primary + encrypted relay fallback |
| Supported Apple Devices | Desktop-centric; clunky mobile broadcast | Requires browser tabs or meeting links | Native iPhone, iPad, and Mac screen sharing |

Why Shared Screens Demand Strict End-to-End Encryption
A five-minute screen share routinely flashes API keys in terminal tabs, customer email addresses, unreleased designs, banking rows, or personal notifications. On platforms where voice and video terminate on server-side Selective Forwarding Units (SFUs) without E2EE, raw video frames exist in server memory.
Wonek treats screen sharing with the exact same cryptographic rigor as text messaging. Frames captured on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac are encrypted on-device before leaving your network interface and can only be decrypted by authenticated call participants.
Why Direct P2P Makes Small Code & Spreadsheet Text Sharper
Camera faces tolerate soft compression, whereas 12-point monospace code in Xcode or dense numbers in a spreadsheet blur immediately when a cloud server aggressively downscales bitrate.
Because Wonek establishes direct peer-to-peer QUIC connections at a high rate—even across mobile CGNAT—screen-share frames travel straight between peers with lower round-trip latency and quick congestion feedback, keeping text crisp while you talk simultaneously over Opus audio.
- Enable Focus / Do Not Disturb on your Mac, iPad, or iPhone so unrelated banners stay hidden.
- Start a 1:1 or group E2EE voice or video call inside Wonek.
- Tap or click Share Screen to broadcast your Mac display/window or iOS/iPadOS screen.
- Open a shared Wonek CRDT collaborative document alongside the call so teammates can type live notes while watching your screen.
Everyday Workflows: From Pair Programming to Family Tech Support
Whether pair-debugging Swift and Rust on macOS, reviewing architectural diagrams on an iPad, or helping a parent configure iPhone privacy settings remotely, native Apple integration means zero meeting URLs to copy and zero browser plugins to install.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Wonek servers record or inspect what is on my shared screen?
No. Screen sharing in Wonek is end-to-end encrypted on your device before transmission. Even if a strict firewall triggers an encrypted relay fallback, the relay sees only unreadable ciphertext.
Does screen sharing work from iPhone and iPad as well as Mac?
Yes. Wonek supports native screen sharing across iPhone, iPad, and Mac during 1:1 and group calls.
Can I keep watching someone's shared screen in Picture-in-Picture?
Yes. Native Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support lets you keep the video call visible while switching into another app or collaborative note.
