Very intrusive popup ! Not working and seem it's not possible to extend the screen.

This is a marvelous app! With this app individually you can only mirror your entire screen or a single app to any device that has an web browser. BUT, if you want to extend your screen to any device, you can create a virtual monitor on your primary computer and use Deskreen to mirror that particular monitor, then everything would be perfectly great!

If you are using MacOS ,you can download this BetterDisplay to create a virtual monitor on your computer; if you are using Windows or Linux, you can use some other app or buy a virtual display adaptor and plug it on your computer.

Can this app allow me to use iMac 2017 model running on Mojave as a secondary display for M1 MacBook Air?

What is Deskreen?

Deskreen turns any device with a web browser to a second screen for your computer

Deskreen is an electron.js based application that uses WebRTC to make a live stream of your desktop to a web browser on any device. It is built on top of Electron React Boilerplate For better security mechanism, end-to-end encryption is implemented, which is inspired by darkwire.io. The difference is that it is rewritten in Typescript and transformed to use node-forge instead of window.crypto.subtle. Why this was made? Because a client served with http without SSL, which makes window.crypto.subtle unavailable.
