What Screego actually does
Screego enables browser-based screen sharing for single or multiple viewers without requiring external third-party services. Built in Go and distributed as a Docker container, it provides a self-hosted custom communication system for desktop streaming. It acts as a lightweight relay for video and audio feeds directly over the web.
Best fit: It suits teams or individuals who need to share screens privately within their own infrastructure without relying on proprietary SaaS platforms.
Worth knowing: Because it overlaps with widely adopted video conferencing tools, deployment requires convincing users to adopt a separate dedicated link. Maintenance depends on a modest upstream activity level.
Deployment notes
You can typically run it via Docker with a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination securely. Persistent storage is usually unnecessary unless you are logging application state.
