Think Zoom, Teams, google meet etc

When sharing the screen, it can see everything the user sees. Would it be possible to isolate what it sees only to GUI applications ran by the same user? If I run these as an unprivileged user via xhost, they don’t really work well. Sandboxing via bubblewrap requires knowledge beyond my current skills and I’m not sure if it would work.

Has anyone

    The difference is that the popup is optional on X. They can also just access the window data directly. On Wayland they have no way to access other windows without asking for permission via the “Portal” popup.
