Add ability to exclude specific windows from Screen Sharing on MacOS

[tomastiminskas]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I created an NSPanel that will stay always visible when navigating on my Mac desktop and apps while on a call. It includes Mic toggle button, camera toggle button, screen sharing button and end call button. It can be dragged and it's hidden when I get back to my app. I'm using includeCurrentApplication: true on screen sharing feature since the app where I implemented the Live Kit SDK has more than the call window and those might need to be shared with others. But I want to exclude the NSPanel from the captured content

Describe the solution you'd like
Having the ability to exclude any window. by windowId or any identifier would be great. Or at least allow to exclude the NSPanel or any window of your own application setting sharingType = .none which right now seems to have no effect at all

Thanks for the idea. I think it makes sense to add this to capture options.

@hiroshihorie we have a platform that basically pay hunters (devs) in sats for a specific development task. We would like to post a bounty (task) and offer a payment for this feature to be done on your repo and raise a PR (since we need it for one of our apps). If you think it's a good idea or you want to know more about it, please send me your email or let me know how I can contact you privately so I can explain more in details. Thanks in advance

Looks like excluding windows is harder than including windows.
How about excluding current app, but adding whatever window you want, will that work ?

[tomastiminskas]

@hiroshihorie Yeah, that could be a workaround. If I understand well, I will be able to exclude current application and then add all the windows of my app but the one I want to exclude (the NSPanel)

@hiroshihorie any update on this? Are you still planning to do the changes about this? Thanks in advance
