Description
Sharing a specific window or an area would be a nice capability - chromium has it as a functionality, as it uses it for chromecasting.
By initial research, I assume this happens by setting chromeMediaSource to "desktop" and chromeMediaSourceId to a value returned by chooseDesktopMedia - https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/desktopCapture.
