Is there a way Firefox can share tabs during Google meetings? I have to completely switch my browser and sign in to chrome for every meeting, but I prefer to use Firefox. Often I will start a meeting in firefox and have to sign out of it and log into chrome and log back into a meeting to share a tab. Is there a way around this? If not, could you work on that? Thanks so much!

+100 to this @phillytiff ! There’s another post here that talks about Google Meet compatibility. Looks like some work is being done and I’m looking forward to any news about this.

Hello
First of All, Thank you Community.

Google Meet problems still remain.
There is no possibility of screen sharing with stereo sound.

Best Regards

At my company, it's hard to convince people to switch to firefox because of lack of this very feature.

They say "nah, I need tab sharing"

I wonder if it's even technically possible for Google meet's tab sharing to work on a non chromium browser.

You can share a detached tab (which becomes a separate window) so I don't know why it would be a problem with sharing a tab...

I meant more more in terms of being able to share audio as well @michalborek how it works in chrome.

Some additional advantages of tab screen sharing:

Security/reliability: for example, Wayland compositors generally require many extra running services for enabling desktop screen sharing that exposes extra attack surfaces. For tab sharing the data never leave Firefox.

Clarity/privacy: I want to share pure contents without the browser UI which may include privacy info like a password manager. I need to switch windows so going fullscreen is not an option.

Currently, if I set `media.getusermedia.browser.enabled = true`. I simply get a quick memory leak and browser crash, using the gUM test page.

I'm upvoting this because it's unbelievable that I can't share just one tab these days. This is one of the most used features in my company.

I upvote on this idea because it would be very helpful in my daily work.

I switched from Safari because of the inability to share tabs, set up and got used to the whole other browser, just to find out the my main problem still persists. Pleeaaasseeee, we need tab sharing
