Disable when sharing screen #644

Open r2rstep opened 2 weeks ago

r2rstep commented 2 weeks ago

Is your plugin request related to a problem? Please describe. I share my screen every now and then during my work and "breaks screens" interrupt my sharing, making me sometimes feel embarrassed in front of people.

Describe the plugin you'd like The plugin could detect when screen sharing is on and disable safeeyes for that period. It should be possible at least in the newest KDE as it automatically disables notifications in such cases.

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually disabling via option in safeeyes context menu

You may be looking for https://github.com/safeeyes/safeeyes-plugins/tree/master/zoom

BTW, this happened to me quite a few times while giving informal talks to fellow students and professors, and they were all amused to see Safe Eyes.

Alternatively, use https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes/issues/627 with Zoom

Please reopen if neither of these solutions work

I use mainly Google Meet in my browser or Slack so Zoom plugin won't work, neither "Do not disturb" setting as I'd like breaks to happen when I use browser for anything else than sharing a screen.

I think I don't have permissions to re-open the issue. Should I create a new one?
