WebRTC is a Peer-To-Peer service where each peer is a browser, with all the constraints that it implies.

So as you've seen with easyRTC, the only way to get desktop screen sharing would be to use a browser extension.

Edit: Here is the example I came across.

Sure, I edited the answer. I haven't tried easyrtc but the example I linked above also requires a plugin. – Elias Ousghir Jun 26 '18 at 12:40
is it possible to share screen to particular user – suresh Jun 27 '18 at 06:17
yes, and only to that particular user, as it's P2P. – Elias Ousghir Jun 27 '18 at 13:36
thank you for your suggestions. I want to share screen for particular user that mean i have login form and user give the credenticilas. Then i want share screen to particular user based on texfield value. is it possible in webrtc. – suresh Jun 28 '18 at 04:03
Yes, this process of establishing contact between two particular users is called signaling, read more here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebRTC_API/Signaling_and_video_calling – Elias Ousghir Jun 28 '18 at 12:58

You don't need a plugin, you can simply use navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia and easyrtc.register3rdPartyLocalMediaStream.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getDisplayMedia

Example:

navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia({video: true}).then(function (stream) {
    easyrtc.register3rdPartyLocalMediaStream(stream, 'screen:1');

    // Then to add to existing connection
    easyrtc.addStreamToCall(easyrtcId, 'screen:1', function (caller, streamName) {

    });
})
