Bug ID: 528503
Summary: A way to hide Picture in picture windows from
fullscreen capture
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.8.2
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: screencasting
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
With the new PiP protocol (KWIN_WAYLAND_SUPPORT_XX_PIP_V1=1), it appears
impossible to exclude Firefox's PiP window from fullscreen capture (using
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8442): I cannot invoke the
Alt+F3 menu on it, it is not in the task manager, and there are no distinct
properties I can match it by for a custom window rule.
My use case is having the other person in a 1:1 video call in the PiP window
while showing your screen to them.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable KWIN_WAYLAND_SUPPORT_XX_PIP_V1
2. Get Firefox to show a PiP window
3. Attempt to hide this PiP window from fullscreen capture
OBSERVED RESULT
No way, at least none I could find
EXPECTED RESULT
A window options menu with "Hide from Screencast", a property to match PiP
windows by for a custom rule, or perhaps a dedicated option somewhere like
"Hide PiP windows from screencasts".
