This page introduces three solutions for switching between the screen-sharing stream and the stream captured by the camera in a [screen-sharing](/en/3.x/interactive-live-streaming/basic-features/screensharing) scenario using the Agora Video SDK for Web.

Switching from the screen-sharing stream to the camera stream and vice versa are the same process. The following solutions take the first case as an example.

## Solution 1: Create two streams [#solution-1-create-two-streams]

Create two Client objects on the sender, which correspond to the screen-sharing stream and the camera stream. See [Share the Screen](/en/3.x/interactive-live-streaming/basic-features/screensharing) for details.

To switch from the screen-sharing stream to the camera stream, subscribe to the camera stream on the receiver.

We recommend this solution if your application scenario allows creating two streams at the same time.

## Solution 2: Close the current stream and publish a new stream [#solution-2-close-the-current-stream-and-publish-a-new-stream]

1. Call `Client.unpublish` and `Stream.close` in sequence to unpublish and close the current screen-sharing stream.
2. Call `AgoraRTC.createStream` to create a new local video stream.
3. Call `Stream.init` and `Stream.publish` to initialize and publish the stream.

This solution is reliable and works with multiple browsers and platforms, but it does not support dynamic switching. You may need to allow for a couple of seconds to switch streams.

## Solution 3: Replace the current video track [#solution-3-replace-the-current-video-track]

Call `Stream.replaceTrack` to replace the video track in the local stream with the screen-sharing stream.

<CalloutContainer type="info">
  <CalloutDescription>
    After replacing the video track with the screen-sharing stream, the encoding frame rate decreases to 5 fps.

This solution supports dynamic switching, but the `replaceTrack` method has the following limitations:

* Supports only Chrome 65+, Safari and the latest Firefox browser.
* Does not take effect on some mobile devices.
* Does not support switching to a screen-sharing stream in dual-stream mode.
