> There are apps on iOS that will share the screen content and camera content and a quick google seems to surface the same for Android.
I have been on the look for something like that in the past. I know of software sharing the camera via NDI, but it was my understanding that doing the same with the screen was not possible inside Apple's sandbox.
You can use AirPlay, of course, but then you're stuck with hoping that on the next OS update the AirPlay server software you're bought is updated quickly.
In terms of sandboxing, I think it may use APIs that are there for screen sharing on video calling apps. It shows a similar interface to the screen recording feature that was added in iOS 12.
Well I'll be damned. I wasn't aware screen sharing was available in video calling apps either. I suppose my last foray into this "rabbithole" must have been pre-iOS 12. Thanks!
Just spotted it's $10 now, so not a painless thing to try if you're on the fence. FWIW it's worked well for me, decent quality and the latency is not an issue at all for screen sharing, not immediate obviously, but for whiteboarding etc. definitely not an impediment (YMMV dependent on your local network).
Also while it isn't a 'universal' app with an iPad specific interface, the interface is just the button to start broadcasting the screen so other than looking a little awkward on launch, again it's not an issue in terms of the output, you'll still get the full screen.
I tried one of those AirPlay servers before and it worked... okay for me. I've got my PC on LAN and an access point across the room (albeit without direct line of sight) and I still had network hiccups.
Since it turns out connecting the iPad to a Mac via USB will make it show up as a video source in OBS (not just QuickTime), I'm inclined to run OBS on my MacBook (also on LAN) with the NDI plugin to stream the screen to my PC. If that falls through, I guess I'll bite the bullet and get the app.

So please do name one if you're aware.
