Think Zoom, Teams, google meet etc

When sharing the screen, it can see everything the user sees. Would it be possible to isolate what it sees only to GUI applications ran by the same user? If I run these as an unprivileged user via xhost, they don’t really work well. Sandboxing via bubblewrap requires knowledge beyond my current skills and I’m not sure if it would work.

Has anyone

    I almost never share an entire screen, but rather single application windows; when I absolutely must share visual information from multiple applications simultaneously, I create a separate virtual desktop for presenting. Is this not possible?

      I know this is possible, but it makes switching different windows a chore. Since I have GUI programs running under different users, I would want the screensharing program to not even be aware that other user’s GUI programs are in the screen
