Description

By design, X11 applications can%e2%80%99t access window or screen contents for wayland clients. This is fine in principle, but it breaks screen sharing in tools like Discord, MS Teams, Skype, etc and more.

This tool allows us to share specific windows to X11 clients, but within the control of the user at all times.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 0.5.3, as upstream numbers it.
