            Bug ID: 186294
           Summary: Implement getDisplayMedia, the Screen Capture API
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 11
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

This is a request for implementing getDisplayMedia, the Screen Capture API that is an extension to the Media Capture API. This allows a display surface to be used as a source for a media stream.

Examples of display surfaces that may be supported include: monitor, window, application (entire collection of windows for an application), or browser (single browser window). Having the ability to capture and share a monitor display would be a great start.

The specification is here: https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-screen-share/

Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML 17) added support for the Screen Capture API as part of the Windows 10 April 2018 update: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2018/05/02/bringing-screen-capture-to-microsoft-edge-media-capture-api/
Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have already had support for non-standard screen capture APIs for years. They have bugs tracking migrations to the standard getDisplayMedia API (Chrome: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=326740, Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1321221).
