Screenshare marked as spoiler

[bluefinhomeserver]

Problem

There is no way right now, on both discord and fluxer to withhold something that you are screensharing or disallow people to view your screenshare. Or let people not be allowed to see a preview of the screenshare.

This is especially a problem when somebody screenshares a show or some narrative game and the one that hovers over it or acidentally enters the screenshare gets spoiled without a warning.

With this feature people would be able to give that warning while setting up their screenshare.

Proposal

Add an option during the screenshare setup, to mark the screenshare as a spoiler and potentially add a message (for example: What the spoilered screenshare contains, what you are watching, why not all people might want to see it etc.)

(One use case in the mock-up within the notes section of this discussion)

This would help people outside the screenshare be more in control of what they want to view, while the people screensharing have the choice to hide it and or potentially only allow the people they trust most.

(Give the "screenshare host" a notification, that somebody wants to view their screenshare. Could also be configured)

Notes

I have attached a silly mock-up of how it could look like within the app, once everything is implemented

Either show it to me anyways like in the mockup or (with further implementation) request access etc.
