Nowadays "share location" is one of the basic features in mobile chat applications.
When share location is triggered, the device collects its geolocation information and after adjusting and confirming the location is sent and becomes visible as a map for other chat users.

The old snapshot behaviour will shut down on 11th of September.
Furthermore, there will be 2 new API endpoints for retrieving the most recent snapshot information.

But this also means, that you see yourself like all other participants see you. And unfortunately, this is not what you are used to. In other meeting tools your local video is usually shown instantly and mirrored based on the following trick:
Include picture-in-picture camera in screenshare presentations
There's a new feature that you can use on your custom UI with eyeson-js since v1.8.6.
