I am using opentok for video chat and screen sharing. It works perfectly for me on a browser. However my application also run natively using cordova.
There is a cordova-plugin for opentok which supports video calls but not screen sharing.
I want screen sharing to be implemented in my cordova app.
Is it possible? Is it possible using opentok? If not, is it possible using any other alternative?
Thanks in advance for your help!
To my research it isn't possible yet with existing plugins to enable screen sharing in a Cordova app.
It is possible to do screen sharing with WebRTC. For example TokBox does have screen sharing implemented in their native SDKs, see:
Android SDK
IOS SDK
So somebody needs to implement these features into the OpenTok Cordova plugin which is public available to maintain and adjust.
Cordova does not support WebRTC yet.
There are some plugins which provide WebRTC support as phoneRTC.
I think this plugin can help you.
However, instead of Cordova, you can use Crosswalk which support natively WebRTC.
Hope that help.

I need help with some information which I couldn't find anywhere online. is it possible to convert my existing android app to ios using PhoneGap/Cordova? if it is yes, could u guys send me any link to do it. if its no, can I know why? please...
No, you can not convert it. Code base and frameworks are to different. For making cross platform app you can use Flutter, Xamarin or others...
Only if your android app is already a web application. Cordova and phonegap are a set of libraries for extending mobile web applications with native functionalities.
Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies - HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development. If your current Android application is a Native application; you cant convert application to iOS.

We are working on an app Which requires Video Chat functionality. Is it possible to use hybrid and webrtc or any other lib to support IOS and Android?.
I have seen a few post with similar queries but those are year an old so any new Update on it.
I use the Cordova plugin iosrtc : https://github.com/eface2face/cordova-plugin-iosrtc
If that can help you, I create a sample application that creates a webrtc call on iOS : https://github.com/apizee/ApiRTC-mobile
I will finish the android version soon.
I used Skylink which is cross platform (iOS, Android and web), works well for me.
EDIT: As of 2020 I would explore more options.
I'm creating a cross-platform application using HTML5(for BlackBerry z10, Android, and iOS). I just want to ask how to apply the compatibility of the to all Android smartphones(2.3 and up maybe and also for iOS) since I use HMTL5, JS, and CSS3? By the way I will be using Twitter Bootstrap.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Every model of phone supports WebView. If you are using a pure HTML5 app, there will be no compatibility problems.
I'm new to android development and after scanning the web for this particular issue i'm still confused about how to develop an html5 cross-platform application? Can i do it using eclipse? What are my possibilities? Could you inform me what should I go through and where exactly?
You can use PhoneGap. Visit http://phonegap.com/. It will let you develop cross platform applications using html, css and javasccript.
Also this is the "getting started" page of PhoneGap API.
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/guide_getting-started_android_index.md.html#Getting%20Started%20with%20Android
Cordova plugin:

Happy coding :D
Yes, Eclipse is fine; Google provides an all-in-one package, see http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download; for a HTML/JavaScript app your could have a look at PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com/). They have really good tutorials for beginners. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhoneGap for an overview of features. There are others e.g. Titanium or Appcelerator (see http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2012/05/comparing-titanium-and-phonegap.html)
I want to develop one Android/Mobile app that should be support Video play and web services calls.
I am looking for cross platform development, for this whhich framework is better.
I heared Phonegap is best one but i want to know the limitations of phonegap and the performance of App if i select Phonegap.
Please share you Phoneegap vs Native
Can you please share your ideas, that is great help for me.
Thanks

PhoneGap enables you to build your application for your mobile devices using html5, css3 and javascript. It's easy to get started on any of the seven different platform. Have a look at http://phonegap.com/start for the short tutorial to get started.
There is also a similar question here at stackoverflow you might be interested in reading which compares the different framework that exist: Comparison between Corona, Phonegap, Titanium
There shouldn't be any problem adding video since PhoneGap uses HTML5, so, it supports the video tag Video tag
