You could probably get a server SDK to add participant MetaData onConnect

Actually you could add a parameter in the metadata on the token creation, then check upon that value on the client side to show the screenshare button.

Yes this was our first design! We refactored it to not store the permissions on the metadata, because when calling UpdateParticipant (server-sdk) we also had to update the metadata. Also became the case that we were sometimes looking up the permissions on the metadata and sometimes on the Participant.permissions obj, so kinda became a mess. But we’ll reconsider it, maybe only for the roomAdmin. Thanks for your fast response sir! :slightly_smiling_face:
