Description bugs.kde.org 2024-08-03 14:29:27 UTC
When I'm sharing my screen with krfb, I sometimes want to pause screen sharing to do something private that I'd rather not show the client (looking at a personal e-mail, for example).

Krfb offers the possibility of disconnecting the client completely, but I'd simply like to pause the screen sharing, for example by showing the client a blank screen, or a screen with a krfb logo, and then resume the screen sharing.

Would it be possible to implement this feature?
Thanks a lot!
