Introduction to WebRTC #12 - Capturing the screen with getDisplayMedia()

Using the getDisplayMedia method, we can capture the screen and share it (eventually) with RTCPeerConnection

Is it possible to capture the screen without showing the mouse cursor in the feed?

Hi I have tried it while making an extension but it always gives error saying.
Error capturing screen: DOMException: getDisplayMedia requires transient activation from a user gesture.
I even tried with user gestures in popup but still it is giving this errors. Do you know anything we can do?

I have tried it in firefox.

I want to remove option like Chrome Tab, Window so that user should only select Entire Screen option is that possible using getDisplayMedia()

Thank you for your question! Please keep asking because they will help others! Unfortunately, that I know of, removing specific options like Chrome Tab and Window are not possible using getDisplayMedia(), at least at the moment). However, I'm looking into it, and I know there are some other workarounds that I can explore and share with you in a future video. Stay tuned!
