First of all amazing work! I wanted to convert your code to an API. So users will provide me a URL and time and I will record that web page for specified time and will give the video to users. I just want to confirm that multiple requests will work fine? it would be creating new tabs and record video separately every time a user sends a request? I know its a silly question but just wanted to confirm. :p

I am avoiding user permission dialog by setting this command line flag for chrome --auto-select-desktop-capture-source=puppetcam which should match the tab title. So only one tab can be captured at a time. I haven't come across other ways of bypassing the user consent dialog box.

You may have to run multiple instances of chrome to handle multiple URLs

Thanks you so much for the reply. And yes you are right. Running multiple instances of chrome solved the problem. Thanks again. :)
