Wow, this is fantastic! This exact use case, on Linux, is why our company selected Zoom instead of Meet. Awesome!

  Built it and took a fullscreen screenshot with GIMP to figure out the width/height/x/y coordinates I wanted and tested with Google Meet. Working perfectly!

    https://github.com/naelstrof/slop https://github.com/naelstrof/slop Can also use a utility like this one, which lets you select an area of the screen and output it in a specified format.

      Wow that is also very cool. For those wondering, this is what it looks like: $ sudo apt install slop $ slop <selects an area on screen> 1719x1403+1080+277

        Putting the two together is easy too: $ clipscreen $(slop -F "%x %y %w %h") NB. The lack of quotes around $() enables wordsplitting to occur.

          Or $ clipscreen $(slop | tr -s "+x" " ")

          I think you got the size and position switched.

      this is just cmd+shift+5 in a Mac OS

        Is it? I thought that took a screenshot, not fed coordinates to a program (in this case a screen sharing program)

    Did you have any issues implementing?
