Facebook might soon bring a screen sharing feature to Messenger.

The social networking application would soon allow one to share screen of one’s smartphone with the people one is connected to through video chat. The new feature is called Screen Share.

Jane Manchun Wong—Tech Insider has used the reverse-engineering approach for identifying some significant clues which show that Facebook is already working on the mentioned feature.

Wong mentioned that the feature would appear during an audio or video chat session. The moment one tap onto the Screen Sharing button, the application would automatically switch off the camera on one’s smartphone.
