example from macos

A way to screen sharing multiple windows instead of just one. For example, i should be able to share my browser and my code editor(they both will be shown) without sharing the entire screen. 

There is a good example from macos (see attachment), i can share both of my windows to discord but not my entire screen

The requesting app can say it supports multiple sources in the portal API.

But we could also build somethign where we composit them together or exclude windows from a screen share.

Yep the app can but most app developers won't spend time and won't do that (telegram, discord, etc)

Yes, that's what I'm requesting :)
