Description
Feature/improvement
I'm using wayland on my Linux, and it looks like that browsertime uses x11grab (which is x11-based) to capture the video of the app. Probably we need another way to do that with wayland.
I know Gnome has some built-in capability to do that, but I don't know if we can tap into this, or even if that would be a good idea to be tightly coupled with Gnome.

Research direction
Start by tracing Browsertime's existing x11grab video-capture path and reviewing how visual metrics depend on it. Compare the available Wayland capture capabilities, including the Gnome capability mentioned in the issue. Done means visual metrics can capture applications on Wayland while preserving existing X11 behavior.
