jimmywarting has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share: == capture screenshot of DOM == Hi, i would like a new API for taking screenshots of the DOM, but don't really know where to bring up this proposal... - [html2canvas](https://github.com/niklasvh/html2canvas) is ok, but not grate. - `getDisplayMedia` isn't ideal. - i don't want them to select another tab/screen/window - it requires a prompt. - requires manual slicing the image to what i want to take a picture of. - problematic to take screenshot to offscreen elements - requires a lot of code - down/up scaling renders the image less accurate (text became blurry) --- Chrome on the other hand have some handy dev tools built in, that I would like to use on my website for eg: submitting a feedback form.  - it's useful for taking a snapshot of the hole page that are not even in viewport - it can take screenshot of a single DOM node and discard the rest. - it gives a more accurate picture that don't downscale/resize - don't involve canvas, video capture, frame rates, parsing and rebuild a representation of the page on canvas I so did wish this functionalities from chrome devtools became exposed as some API that we developer can use.
