Screen Capture CG meetings at TPAC 2024

TPAC 2024 is fast upon us, and this year, the Screen Capture Community Group will be holding two meetings:

First meeting (1/2), 24 September 2024, 16:30–18:00 (details): A joint one between the Screen Capture CG and the WebRTC WG. We will cover both new and ongoing topics, including:

• New API surfaces to facilitate dynamically switching shared surfaces during a video call.
• New API changes to increase the capturing application’s insight into the true resolution of shared surfaces.
• Continued discussion of Element Capture (link)
• Continued discussion of Captured Surface Control (link)

Second meeting (2/2), 27 September 2024, 11:00–12:30 (details): A standalone session for the Screen Capture CG. Unlike our typical meetings, which are usually structured discussions of newly proposed Web APIs, this session will be a free-form discussion on any topics related to screen-sharing that participants bring up. We will intentionally avoid a fixed agenda, but to kick off the conversation, here are some ideas we could discuss:

• Capturing a rectangular sub-section of the screen.
• Comparison of “media-picker” experiences across various browsers and operating systems, discussing what works and why.
• Sharing audio – inconsistencies across surface-types, operating systems and browsers.
• Echo cancellation.
• The challenges of sharing audio from a multi-window application.
• Beyond mere screen-capture; what about remote control? Could this ever be possible on the open Web?
• Any other topics participants would like to bring up.

Please don’t hesitate to mail me at eladalon@google.com with any questions you might have, or even just to mention that you’ll be dropping by.
