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!

    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
