Window / Tab capture

A Window / Tab element shows a live feed of a single application window rather than the whole screen. Use it when you want one app on screen and nothing else — a slide deck, a scoreboard app, a browser tab — without the risk of a stray notification or another window appearing.

Add it: Add Element → Window / Tab….

What it can do

  • Stream one chosen window live to either deck.
  • Transform and position on a canvas via the card's inline Transform controls.
  • Stay clean: only that window's contents are shown, even if you switch apps.

When to use it instead of screen capture

Use Window / Tab when…Use Screen Capture when…
You want only one app visible.You want the whole desktop.
You need to keep working in other windows off‑air.You're presenting everything on a display.

On Linux, window capture uses the system's screen‑sharing picker, so you'll choose the window (and may grant permission) the first time.
