Video and screen sharing server suggestions (lemmy.ml)

Hey, what do you guys use to share videos and screen share to your friends or colleagues? I'm looking to self host a video/call server that runs on webrtc (maybe?) with a fairly easy client experience. Something like mumble but for videos. Any suggestions?

The person doing screensharing runs sunshine.exe
they tell their hostname from the watcher, example.com the watcher runs

if not paired already Moonlight.exe pair example.lan

(then a number appears, they tell the number to screensharer, who then types this number in https://localhost:47990/pin )

once paired (pairing key exchange is permanent until manually revoked by default) the watcher runs Moonlight.exe --display-mode windowed --absolute-mouse --resolution 1920x1080 stream example.lan desktop

A screen appears on their device, showing the other device, the latency and quality are excellent, you can watch youtube videos, play doom, it's almost like it's your own computer, you can fullscreen the window if you want.

Me and my friends, we use an extra computer with sunshine on it. We all connect at the same time to this extra computer and share it, show stuff to each other. It works really great

As for connectivity, there is no STUN/TURN coordination, either you open a port forward on your router or you use a VPN like zero tier, tailscale, hamachi, softether etc..
