Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the “share tab” option. However, I’d like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I’d like a compact way that creates a virtual device sharing the window (even if the window gets minimized or hidden behind other windows!) and its audio, without the audio of all other windows (I don’t want my notification sounds to be shared too). a quick online search gave me only “complex” answers, that I’ll try only if a more convenient way is not available.

[I’m running EndeavourOS KDE Wayland]

Thank to everyone in advance!

    gave me only “complex” answers

    It is a complex question, even if you try so hard to deny that :-)

    One sender only? Or how many possible senders?

    How many Receivers?

    Do they need to talk back or send back anything?

    How far away are they (in terms of network)?

      It would be just me sharing to everybody else on the internet (no more than 6 people)

      Jitsi meet works great, the only problem is being able to share only “a portion” of what it currently does

      My assumption:

      • Hell be the host, hell control the stream and no one else. So one sender with no internal communication (coz they might have discord or something setup for their conversations)
      • according to google, the average no of friends is 5. So may be around 5 receivers
