**Description**  
Can you preset the control sharing and the app that is being shared when creating the meeting or is possible to append anything for this to work to the joil\_url or start\_url?

**Which Endpoint/s?**

**Additional context**  
I would like to enable users to share an app control before entering the meeting.

Hey @alexandru.chirica,

It is not possible to enable remote control before joining / starting a meeting.

What is your use case?

Thanks,  
Tommy
