Consider using macOS Ventura's built-in OS screen-sharing picker for a more integrated user experience on macOS.

STRs to show off the feature in Safari:
1. Open https://jan-ivar.github.io/dummy/gdm.html in Safari in macOS Ventura 13 or newer
2. Click the `User gesture` button on the page
3. In the OS picker, choose e.g. "Allow to Share Window"

This shows macOS Ventura's built-in window picker where the user sees an OS highlight over any window they hover over, and a "Select this Window" button centered on the window (see screenshot). There's also other ways to select or even switch which window is being shared from an added OS button with a dropdown on the window itself.

Apparently, this UX experience is available to third party apps starting with macOS 14 beta.
