Could you build this?
Partial A web UI is trivial, but capturing a single Windows application window specifically (via Windows Graphics Capture or Desktop Duplication API) and hardware-encoding it to WebRTC/H.264 requires low-level Win32 and video pipeline knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack relies on C++ or Rust using the Windows Graphics Capture API (Windows.Graphics.Capture) to capture offscreen or window-specific surfaces, passing textures to NVENC/Media Foundation for hardware video encoding. The stream must then be served via an embedded WebRTC server to deliver sub-100ms video directly to a browser client.
