Bug ID: 469851

SUMMARY
When using OBS Studio to record e.g. a window and some audio stream, many red
dot applets appear in the panel.
The tooltips of these only say "Screen sharing: Sharing contents to OBS Studio
Wayland".
Right clicking just shows a context menu with a single item "End".
Clicking on a red dot opens the same context menu as above, but put in a actual
window with a titlebar.
There is absolutely no information whatsoever what differentiates each of the
dots and thus it is not clear what will "End".
Is also not clear, why there are three of these: One for the audio, one for
window and the third one? No idea.
In short: It's great to have some indicator, but this indicator needs
improvement: Maybe just a single dot and when clicking on it shows what OBS
Studio is actually accessing and in this list to allow to revoke the access if
desired.
