Detailed Description

To allow web applications to capture contents of a display, applications must connect to WebEngineView::desktopMediaRequested, which takes a WebEngineDesktopMediaRequest instance as an argument.

If a web application requests access to the contents of a display, WebEngineView::desktopMediaRequested will be emitted with a WebEngineDesktopMediaRequest instance as an argument which holds references to ListModels for available windows and screens that can be captured.

The data model's DisplayRole specifies the name of the source which is the title of a window or the number of the display. The model is dynamically updated if the available list of sources has changed; e.g when a window is opened/closed.

The signal handler needs to then either call selectScreen() or selectWindow() to accept the request and start screensharing.
