How can I capture window area that is playing a video and display the area in another window in Linux





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'd like to have a small video window "Always on top" of other windows in my LXDE which would display just the video area I have previously chosen in another window, e.g. Chrome displaying edX video page.

    I think VLC can capture desktop. At the moment I can only confirm it can do this on Windows. I don't know if there are options to crop while capturing, still there are options to crop while displaying. If I'm right and anyone wants to turn the idea into a proper answer, please go ahead.

  • @KamilMaciorowski: With the "Picture-in-Picture Extension" installed, it does work with edX videos. Thanks for the tip! I'm still looking for a solution.
