Wow, this is fantastic! This exact use case, on Linux, is why our company selected Zoom instead of Meet.

Awesome!

Built it and took a fullscreen screenshot with GIMP to figure out the width/height/x/y coordinates I wanted and tested with Google Meet. Working perfectly!

https://github.com/naelstrof/slop Can also use a utility like this one, which lets you select an area of the screen and output it in a specified format.

Is it? I thought that took a screenshot, not fed coordinates to a program (in this case a screen sharing program)
