[kwlug-disc] Video conferencing, infinite screens in share

When you share a screen, on which you display a cast, where your screen 
shows, in a few seconds you get a seemingly infinite chain of screens 
inside of a screen.

I suggest that this has little effect on performance of a machine. 
Machine encodes only one region. Encoded frame may be more nuanced and 
variable rate/diff-bytes (?) encoding may chew a bit more, but at the 
end, there is blow up in a software. Contrast this with actually putting 
an infinite self enclosed frames in a browser. That kills browser, and fast.

So, don't worry about many screens. Its like physical mirror, but finite.
