 * Hi! Firstly, I want to say thank you for such useful plugin, espeically due to
   the coronavirus, more start to use video conference and online teaching service,
   I’m also one of them, and begin to use the agora service, this plugin helps us
   a lot!
 * But there are some issues, it seems the screen share doesn’t work, I tried to
   download the chrome extension and install it, but when I click the screen share,
   it shows”No response from Chrome Plugin. Plugin not installed properly.” Maybe
   I use it wrong? Could you please write a detailed instruction about how to use
   the screen share for us? It is really important for us who don’t know much about
   the code.
 * Second question is the communcation channel doesn’t work, it shows all buttons,
   but no images and those buttons also don’t work, it seems another user also met
   same problem, could you help us about that? Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your interest in Agora Video for WordPress and your kind words.
 * Regarding the screen-sharing issue, I a seeing an issue with Chrome browser but
   it works in Firefox. I will raise this issue with the team and stat work on a
   patch. I will update the ticket once a fix has been published.
 * Regarding your second question, could you please provide some more information
   regarding, which platform _(device/OS)_ you are testing with? Are you able to
   provide any console logs? ([steps to provide console logs](https://zapier.com/help/troubleshoot/behavior/view-and-save-your-browser-console-logs))
 * I ask for the platform, because there is a known issue on iPhone, it only works
   using Safari due to Apple’s restrictions within the WKWebView, so Chrome and 
   other mobile browsers on iOS are not given access to the library required for
   accessing the camera.

 * Hi,thank you for your help! Screen share works on Firefox and I checked the console
   logs, it shows the invalid channel, I guess because I didn’t use english as channel
   name, and I changed it, now it works, really appreciate your help!
 * Another question is could we adjust the video screen? or full screen? Now it’s
   like if we use screen share, everthing will become so tiny and blur，it would
   be much better if the screen is bigger or full screen.
 * Last question is do you have any plans to add the whiteboard? Like here, [https://github.com/AgoraIO-Usecase/eEducation/tree/master/education_web](https://github.com/AgoraIO-Usecase/eEducation/tree/master/education_web),
   as we plan to use it for students, it is really helpful for school teaching, 
   thank you!

 * One more question, it seems the broadcast and communcation can’t work together
   in the same page?

 * Glad to hear that screen-share is working.
 * Broadcast and Communication are two different modes so you can not run them together
   in the same page, you must have them on different pages.
