How to make screen sharing with twilio API ?

Hello, I need to make screen sharing with twilio API in my Laravel 5 app. Searching in net I found this https://www.twilio.com/blog/2018/01/screen-sharing-twilio-video.html article. Not sure, is it offifial docs from Twillio? Also what raise my doubts that The Chrome extension was created in this post. So all users need to install this extension to use it? That seems not very good decision? Are there some other ways to create screen sharing with twilio API with srep by steps documentation... Thanks!

@mstdmstd The post is on twilio.com. Yes, it’s official.

There’s nothing stopping you from modifying the code used to build the Chrome extension to instead run where you need it (web page, etc).

There are going to be times where someone hasn’t written a tutorial that walks you step-by-step to do exactly what you need, so you need to learn to read code, understand it, be able to modify it to do what you want.

Thanks for your feedbacks! Following the docs I found link to “Update: Event Pages and Background Pages” page at https://developer.chrome.com/docs/apps/event_pages/ with :

Caution
Important: Chrome will be removing support for Chrome Apps on all platforms. Chrome browser and the 
Chrome Web Store will continue to support extensions. Read the announcement and learn more about 
migrating your app.

and next I read :

December 2020: End support for Chrome Apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

If there is a sense to read this manual and try to impement it in my laravel 5.8 app?
