Summary

Web apps will be able to capture multiple surfaces at once.

This feature introduces a new API "getAllScreensMedia()" that allows
developers to request several surfaces at once (instead of only one with
"getDisplayMedia()"). This API will auto-accept capture requests (for
managed sessions only), guarded by policies that have to be explicitly set
by the device owners and with clear usage indicators so that users are
aware of capturing at all times.

Risks

Interoperability and Compatibility

This API rejects requests from pages that are not allow-listed through an
administrator. The likelihood of this API being adopted by a browser that
does not provide administrators mechanisms to manage clients is low.


Gecko: N/A - given that the API is limited to managed configurations, it's
not clear that requesting a position is needed

WebKit: N/A - given that the API is limited to managed configurations, it's
not clear that requesting a position is needed

Web developers: Positive (
https://github.com/screen-share/capture-all-screens/issues/9)

Other signals:

Ergonomics

No

Security

   -

   Malicious sites exploiting the API and stealing sensitive information
   shown on the users device: Prevented by enabling the API only for pages
   allowlisted by the device’s admin.
   -

   Users exposing private information on managed devices: Prevented by
   notifying the user that 1) capture *may* happen in the session, 2) showing
   a notification when capturing *is* happening and 3) showing a system tray
   icon when capturing *is* happening (c.f. Privacy comments and approval on
   https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1300881).



WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None


Goals for experimentation

Learn about the experience of web developers and how this API fulfills
their needs.

Ongoing technical constraints

None

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

No

Right now this API is only supported on ChromeOS. The privacy measures
(e.g. the right way to notify users on login / API users) will have to be
developed for other platforms first. Data from the ChromeOS platform will
help to design this on other platforms.


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

No, as WPTs don’t support setting of managed policies. The API is tested by
a number of unit- and browser- tests (Test files
<https://source.chromium.org/search?q=getallscreensmedia%20f:test.cc%20-f:out%2F&sq=>
).

DevTrial instructions

Flag name

enable-get-all-screens-media

Requires code in //chrome?

True. To support this API, embedders need to implement the
ContentBrowserClient::ContentCreateScreenEnumerator
