Description

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. I could not find a discussion or a project board for this repo. If you want me to close it or move this elsewhere, I would be happy to.

I was trying to build a basic screen recorder where I could pick a screen or a window, see the live preview, and save it to a file. In Electron this is the desktopCapturer API, which lists the screens and windows you can record and gives you back a video stream. I went through the docs and the examples and could not find anything like that here.

Is this a planned feature? Or is there a roadmap somewhere I can check?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository documentation and examples for existing screen, window, or video-capture entry points, then check whether a roadmap or discussion is referenced elsewhere. The issue does not identify implementation files or tests; completion would require defining and implementing an API that lists capturable screens and windows, provides a live video stream, and supports saving a recording.
