I am using a WebRTC demo application for screen sharing. The demo works perfectly fine but when I try to run the same code in localhost or my own remote server, the code doesn't run. Any ideas on how can I fix this issue?

1ScreenSharing only works on an SSL connection. Is your local web server hosting it as such? – Benjamin Trent Sep 06 '14 at 15:18

Try that. You can even use a self signed cert but it will not work unless SSL – Benjamin Trent Sep 06 '14 at 16:02

Screensharing in Chrome only works over an SSL connection(). You can use a self-signed cert and simply accept it in your browser(this is for Chrome < M36).
Also, for Chrome >M36 you must now use the Chrome.desktopcapture API and the usual way of modifying media constraints and enabling screen-sharing in Chrome internals will not work in newer versions of chrome.
The API is farely simple and MUCH more robust than the previous given option in the media constraints.
