videoTileDidUpdate observer not executed for local

See original GitHub issue

Timeline Outline the main actions the user performed and when:

User A, B and C are in a meeting
User A activates screen share, and selects to share all screen.
User B and C receive the tileState update; A doesn’t.

Describe the bug When activating screenShare feature, all attendees trigger this observable with the tileState; all attendees but the one who activated (local). This makes not possible to add a local title for screenShare.

I’m pretty sure this was working before, and A was receiving the expected tileState update.

videoTileDidUpdate: tileState => {
        console.log("videoTileDidUpdate observer, tileState:", tileState);
}

We recently have a backend change so that we no longer send content share video back to the sharer to save on bandwidth (See issue #526). As a result, videoTileDidUpdate would not fire for the sharer anymore (although contentShareDidStart should). PR #576 will return a media stream from screen capture which allows you to bind it to a video element.

We have reverted back the server change and will think of a better way to do this in a less disruptive manner.
