Could you build this?

No Excluding a specific browser window from operating system-level screen capture APIs requires low-level OS hooks, custom display window flags (like WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE on Windows), or native C++/Chromium embedding.

What it would actually take: To build an invisible desktop browser, one must create a custom Electron or Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) shell interacting with OS-specific window management APIs (such as SetWindowDisplayAffinity with WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE on Windows and NSWindow sharingType on macOS). It demands deep knowledge of native OS windowing subsystems and desktop graphics pipelines to ensure screen recorders and WebRTC streams consistently ignore the window.
