Its usually games, though its generally "whatever we are doing at the time" with trusted, long distance friends. Its not something I would want to share over publicly accessible URLs. And it almost always involve varied and fast moving visuals, so basic software encoding is not acceptable.

I have tried jitsi before. It does not use hardware accelerated codecs or provide audio isolation for applications. I can't imagine using its screen share for anything more demanding than a slide show presentation.

Currently best option might be vdo.ninja, or if you have multiple people wanting to game on the same shared screen sunshine/moonlight is specifically for gaming can handle shared sessions.

I do hope jitsi gets better encoding options in the future because its really the easiest to use
