Great idea! At [Tella](https://www.tella.tv/) we've had multiple users ask for the ability to record multiple windows at the same time, without sharing their full screen. We haven't implemented this yet, partly because like you said in the original post, the UX currently is not ideal for a user. Picking a screen is already a hard task for a lot of users (giving OS permissions, knowing the implications of picking a screen (mirror effect), etc) so we didn't want to make it more complex with multiple prompts. However, if they would be able to just multiselect windows this would make the experience a lot better. We would indeed also want a way to make sure they don't select too many streams (like with maxSurfaces in your example), since recording a lot of streams has a performance impact. Partly related, it would be great if we could say they can only capture windows, but I know there's already a discussion about that [here](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share/issues/184). Also like @ldenoue's idea about being able to create a custom picker with something like enumerateDisplaySurfaces. So summarizing: I like the idea of allowing selection of multiple windows/tabs/screens and I think it will improve the UX for the screen picker and will make it nicer to implement recording/streaming apps. -- GitHub Notification of comment by happylinks Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share/issues/204#issuecomment-1041362212 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
