Intent to Experiment: Captured Surface Control

Hello Blink owners,

We are asking that the OT period on this experiment be shifted, and instead of the originally requested period of m122-m127 (inclusive), we consider it retroactively as m124-m129 (inclusive).

As of the time of writing, there has only ever been one active OT participant (Meet), and they only started widespread use of the feature in m124. Further, the feature was not fully implemented until m124. (The initial target of m122 was set based on timelines that did not materialize, both in terms of the feature’s implementation and of participants’ implementation.)

With respect to standardization:

When this API was first presented to Web developers in the Screen Capture CG, we heard a lot of support for it. Since then, we prioritized implementation and validation of the API with partners. Now that we have the thumbs-up on implementation from partners, we are prioritizing standardization. An initial outreach to Mozilla and Apple during the WebRTC WG editors meeting started out positively, and I am looking forward to presenting this to a wider audience during the May interim meeting of the WebRTC WG. The prospects on achieving consensus before m129 runs its course appear good.

Thanks,

Elad
