20% of the world (and likely an even larger percentage of HN users) already have cDM support! [http://caniuse.com/usage_table.php http://caniuse.com/usage_table.php]
- gk1 12y agoI was excited about this at first. I don't know of any simple way to record my screen without having to download decade-old software. A web-based solution like this would be amazing... Until I realized I'd have to follow a list of work-arounds just to get it working. Hoping this is just the first trial run and the next iteration will get this resolved.

If the OP used the chooseDesktopMedia API in concert with getUserMedia and built a Chrome Extension, you wouldn't have to do any of these work-arounds. I expect an enormous number of Chrome Extensions that do all sorts of web-based screen recording & sharing in the coming months.
