Ultimately this shouldn't be a userland addition. This should be a browser feature. Lets say I only want to share the top half of my vertical monitor. I have something private and confidential on the bottom half that I haven't moved off it - there's no way I'm giving say Google Meet access to my entire screen, would I trust that application to not be sending that data somewhere? What you're describing above feels like a hack around a solution - and I'm not even certain if its really fulfils the solution to the problem - what if I don't have the browser foregrounded at all. I'm showing off VsCode and another browser different to the one running the meeting application I'm sharing my screen with.... In the web world we stop HTTPS pages being able to talk to HTTP APIs for a reason.... how is this any different? You want the user to know the web application truly only has access to the portion of the screen I allowed it access to. Also, the above solutions only work if developers implement the ability to do it - shouldn't it be a browser GUM "thing" so that any web application taking advantage of getDisplayMedia is able to use it? -- GitHub Notification of comment by danjenkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share/issues/105#issuecomment-699043502 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
