Bananas: Cross-Platform screen sharing made simple

Just fyi: it's planned that Bananas supports not only a direct peering of two parties, but rather a set of "unlimited" parties, where the host acts as some kind of relay server for all peers.

This means that in the future you should always choose the one with the beefiest hardware and network connection as host.

Swapping who is presenting without the need to reconnect, + chat is also planned for V1.

Transparent leader election fail over with the relay would be necessary. Otherwise a dead battery for the relay or dead internet connection amplifies the outage instead of reliability going up with number of people in the call.
