I need to share screen on safari browser.  
I tried example source codes all by using mediasoup.  
But screenshare button was disabled on safari.  
Mediasoup doesn’t support on safari?

Try reading the documentation instead of just looking at examples.

This is not an accurate question. Something does not work for you so you blame the software.

@jinguangze vp9 is not supported by safari, that should be your problem. Try using vp8 instead and see if that fixes it.
