But I don’t think that’s what this is proposing. I’ll admit it’s unclear from the site, but from what I gleaned from the linked Jitsi issue above, this is allowing apps to natively share their output (video or audio) without getting “translated” by the video conferencing app. It would seem like we effectively are manually setting all those things, only to a single group of settings chosen by Teams or Zoom or whomever.

On the flip side, this feels like a wonderful avenue for security issues so I can see the resistance. On the third hand, with proper authentication controls, maybe not.
