There is no information in this article whether you can share your screen wuth Matrix (essential for any serious meeting) Can you?

Matrix is a protocol, and it supports screensharing both on legacy VoIP and newstyle MatrixRTC group e2ee calling. Most Matrix clients (eg Element) support screensharing - one exception is Element X on mobile, which can view but not share.
