Specification

https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share/pull/186/files

Summary

When getDisplayMedia() is called, the browser offers the user a choice of display surfaces - tabs, windows and monitors. Using the displaySurface constraint, the Web application may now hint to the browser if it prefers that a certain surface type be more prominently offered to the user.

Risks

Interoperability and Compatibility

Gecko: Positive (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/642) Jan-Ivar Bruaroey from Mozilla, and Youenn Fablet from Apple, have both collaborated with us closely in shaping this PR. They have then approved merging this PR into w3c/mediacapture-screen-share. This is implicit support, so I'd consider it POSITIVE even though, as of the time of this writing, the official request for position has not yet been answered.

WebKit: Positive (https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2022-May/032253.html) Jan-Ivar Bruaroey from Mozilla, and Youenn Fablet from Apple, have both collaborated with us closely in shaping this PR.

Similar to other intents, this doesn't count as an official positive signal. Let's wait a few days to see if one emerges.

When I have an exact date, I will update ChromeStatus and ping this thread with the target. Currently, I only know that it will be before EoY, but no earlier than August.

This is shipping in m107. (Thank you François Beaufort for implementing!)
