Amazon Chime Screen Sharing

[AlJohri]

Just wanted to share the settings that worked for me to be able to screen share with Amazon Chime while using yabai.

Usually, while screen sharing, I see this yellow rectangle taking up space on the screen. In this screenshot, the empty area is being taken up be this yellow screen sharing border rectangle which you can't see:

By adding the following to your yabairc you can make the border properly surround the window or screen as intended:

yabai -m rule --add app="^Amazon Chime$" title="^Amazon Chime: Meeting Controls$" manage=off
yabai -m rule --add app="^Amazon Chime$" title="^Amazon Chime: Screen Share Border$" manage=off
yabai -m signal \
    --add event=window_created \
    title="^Amazon Chime: (Screen Share Border|Meeting Controls)$" \
    action='yabai -m rule --apply'

For some reason, the rule by itself doesn't work, so you need to add a signal to re-apply the rule when the window is created.

If anyone has a better way to handle this, please let me know!

Here is the JSON of each Chime window as output from yabai -m query --windows in case it helps with debugging:
