Desktop capture chrome plugin

Question

I was developing a chrome plugin in which captures desktop screen. I am using the sample plugin example given here... https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/samples#desktop

Answer 1

You can't do this. The manifest permission allows you to provide this feature but the user still has to select the screen and hit share.

Like others said, this is a security feature to prevent your extension from triggering this without informing the user.
