New screen sharing picker in canary and beta enabled by default

[bl...@webrtc.org]

You can start testing the new screen sharing window picker that is now enabled by default in Chrome canary and beta supporting tab and audio sharing. If you want to see tabs as an option you need to call chooseDesktopMedia with 'tab' as constraint; chooseDesktopMedia is an extension API. For quick testing, use https://test.webrtc.org/manual/peer2peer/ and click on "Screen capture". Make sure you install or update the extension from http://goo.gl/kLEycY) first. We would be happy to receive your feedback before enabling it in stable.

Hey Niklas,

does tab sharing require a new permission (tabCapture?) in the manifest.json of the extension? I didn't see any changes when adding 'tab' as a constraint.

I can't find anything related in https://github.com/webrtc/testrtc/blob/master/src/manual/peer2peer/extension/manifest.json, I don't know if you can define these permissions e.g., for tab-only.

Some feedback about the new screen sharing window picker.

1. Audio is only enabled for Entire screen and Chrome Tab but not for Application Window.
The audio checkbox is almost invisible. Users won't understand why audio doesn't work for Application Window.
Maybe show something like "No audio" in the Application Window tab?

2. The indication for the selected tab on Chrome Tab is not clear enough. The title is changed to bold and an outline is added.
It's important to give a very clear indication for the selected tab for security and user experience reasons.
I suggest to give the selected item a clear background color.

3. Minimized windows are missing from the Application Window list. Tested with Chrome 54 on Windows 7.

If it's not possible to show the thumbnail of a minimized window at least show a gray rectangle with the title below.

Please file a bug in crbug.com.

This is by design I believe due to limitations of the capture API's used in the OS.

Isn't it possible to show a blank thumbnail and a title for a minimized window?
