Official demonstration: Sharing your display in a group video call while keeping your presenter camera feed active.
Simultaneous Dual Streams
Broadcast your facial expressions via webcam while simultaneously presenting slides or coding windows on your main display.
Internal Audio Loopback
Transmit crystal-clear internal computer sound (system audio, video playback, game audio) alongside your microphone voice.
App Sandbox Isolation
Share strictly a designated browser tab or software window, keeping desktop notifications and private chats hidden.
engineering Dual WebRTC Encoding & Audio Loopback Subsystem
In standard video meeting platforms, selecting screen share replaces your camera feed entirely. Telegram supports dual concurrent WebRTC streams per publisher.
Under the hood, Telegram uses native platform APIs (WASAPI loopback on Windows, CoreAudio on macOS, and PulseAudio/PipeWire on Linux) to capture application audio directly from the OS audio mixer. Video frames are captured at native 60 FPS using GPU desktop duplication APIs, ensuring fluid software demonstrations without frame drops.

Pro Tip: Selective Window Sharing for Maximum Privacy
Never risk exposing private desktop notifications, personal bookmarks, or confidential chat tabs during work webinars! When sharing your screen on Telegram Desktop, always choose Share Window and pick your presentation software rather than sharing your full desktop. Telegram sandboxes the capture stream strictly to that single app frame!
