Think Zoom, Teams, google meet etc

When sharing the screen, it can see everything the user sees. Would it be possible to isolate what it sees only to GUI applications ran by the same user? If I run these as an unprivileged user via xhost, they don’t really work well. Sandboxing via bubblewrap requires knowledge beyond my current skills and I’m not sure if it would work.

Has anyone

    To my knowledge it’s impossible in X, unless you run apps on separate X servers.

    Wayland handles this by default, with the exception of Xwayland apps
