Hello Team Rocket.Chat, may I work on this issue? I would be delighted to contribute to it.

@jeanfbrito sir I'm experiencing an issue while debugging my Electron app during screen sharing. When I share the screen, two screens appear. I've opened the DevTools for both screens. While the console logs for the Rocket.Chat desktop app are working fine, the other screen, which displays the options "Your entire screen" and "Application window" after clicking "Share your screen," does not show my console.log statements.

I've added console.log("Hello world") in the files inside the "videoCallWindow" folder, including ipc.ts, screenSharePicker.ts, video-call-window.ts, and videoCallWindow.ts. Despite this, the console does not display 'Hello world.'

How can I resolve this issue?
