Screenshot on Win10 OBS recording full screen
SUMMARY
-- This is a feature request, not a bug --
During meetings and remote control sessions it can be crucial for the person
sharing their screen (or application window) to have a clear visual indicator
that their screen/window is not for their eyes only during that time.
Windows does this, in my experience, by adding a solid, vivid colored border
around the screen or app window being shared (refer to screenshot attached).
I think this is a good implementation because it does not rely on small tray
icons which can be easy to miss, hence constantly reminding the user that
they're operating in a potentially "unsafe" situation.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a KDE session under Wayland
2. Screen share on Teamviewer, or start a recording via OBS, or share screen
over MS Teams or Google Meet
OBSERVED RESULT
No visual indication of screen/app window being recorded/shared
EXPECTED RESULT
Clear, hard to miss visual indication of screen/app window being
recorded/shared
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Requesting for Wayland as that's my daily driver - might make sense on X11 as
well, if not implemented yet.
Thanks!
