ScreenAreaShare
ScreenAreaShare allows sharing selected area of the screen in applications that do not natively support this feature such as Teams.
How It Works
ScreenAreaShare creates 2 windows. The capture window is a click-through, transparent window indicating the recording area via a red border. The rendering window displays the content of that area. In applications such as Teams, you can then share the rendering window.
How To Run
Via Release
You can download the executable for windows from the Releases page.
Via Source Code
- Clone or download the source code.
- Run
npm install - Either run directly or build an executable.
- Source: run
npm start. - Build executable: run
npm run make.
Execute the built .exe file in theout/folder.
- Source: run
Usage
- Two windows should open: One border-window and one rendering window. These two windows can be moved via a drag-drop. The red borders can be resized.
- With both windows open, start the sharing function of the application of your choice (e.g. Teams) by selecting the option to share a window. Select this application.
