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!

    Jellyfin has a watch-together function but to set all that up will probably be even more complex than the “complex” options …

      If OP gets Jellyfin working they can just share the tab or window that the Jellyfin web interface is running in. Jellyfin will take care of the playback. No need for the other people to use Jellyfin too.
