Runs pretty smooth, good for what it is. Seems you cannot save the shared video, so not what I was looking for.

I've happily used this amazing extension for years! Recently I had an issue with it but after emailing the developer the problem was quickly resolved. I'd recommend this extension to anyone who likes to host streams for their friends or family. it's in my opinion the best out there!
