Show HN: X11 tool to share a screen area in any video meeting

Can someone explain why this is still an unmet need within the current video conference platforms? Giant monitors have become increasingly common-especially for the developers who might be working on these tools.

Maybe because a workaround with OBS isn't that difficult?

You might have missed the point being made here.

We, as engineers, can't expect everyone to know what OBS is, download it, learn in, and use it every day to enable their ability to share a sub-section of their monitor (regardless of its size.)

We, as engineers, _are_ expected to make our software easier to use and feature rich. Adding this capability into Zoom or Meet, etc. is a reasonable thing to expect from a software company of note. And people _do_ know what Zoom and Meet are, download them, learn them, and use them every day. Why not implement the feature directly into the software they're already using?

Also which percentage of people taking part in meetings with screen sharing are even allowed to "just install" OBS? More for developers, much less for other office workers.
