> IOW: Tabs communicating across _getDisplayMedia_ is neither safe nor an intuitive user experience. Let tabs capture themselves & collab through e.g. a [BroadcastChannel](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/web-messaging.html#broadcastchannel). Consider tabs `A`, `B` and `C`. Using [BroadcastChannel](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/web-messaging.html#broadcastchannel), they could find each other and communicate with each. But how does that help us? Assume `A` calls `getDisplayMedia`, and the user chooses to capture `C`. Does `A` know if it's capturing `B` or `C`? Not unless visually inspects them for specific pixels. But: 1. This is not an ergonomic solution. 2. This method of identification is open to the risk of impersonation. These are the two problems I seek to address. -- GitHub Notification of comment by eladalon1983 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share/issues/159#issuecomment-818524586 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
