Description Gendre Sébastien 2014-05-09 12:13:50 UTC 
In Empathy 3.10.3, I can't share my desktop with a contact that using Jitsi 2.5.5065. The entry in the menu is disable. But these 2 Jabber clients have this features.

For Desktop Sharing, Empathy use a XEP or a personal solution?
Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2014-05-19 14:57:30 UTC 
Empathy uses a Telepathy specific feature called "tubes" to establish a VNC connection to the other contact. I have no idea what Jitsi is using but that's certainly something different.
Comment 2 Gendre Sébastien 2014-05-23 10:05:00 UTC 
Apparently, Jitsi have only desktop streaming. So, they probably send a video stream with Jingle. But I'm not sure.
Comment 3 Gendre Sébastien 2014-05-30 12:37:18 UTC 
So, after some tests: Jitsi use Jingle to share the desktop. It capture the screen and send it as if it's a webcam.

Empathy can receive a desktop streaming from a Jitsi client. But in the opposite direction, it's not possible.

I think Empathy can implement the Jitsi solution too, as a compatibility solution with other client that don't implement "tubes" and VNC.
