Feature Request: Support for Chrome Launch Flags (e.g. screen sharing automation)

Feature Request

I’m currently trying to automate a test that involves screen sharing (e.g. clicking a “Share screen” button that triggers the browser’s native screen picker dialog). As you know, due to browser security restrictions, this dialog cannot be controlled via JavaScript or DOM automation.

In tools like Puppeteer or Playwright, this limitation is usually bypassed by launching Chrome with specific flags, such as:

--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream

--enable-usermedia-screen-capturing

--auto-select-desktop-capture-source="Entire screen"

I would like to request the ability to configure such Chrome launch flags in BugBug test settings or project setup. This feature would be incredibly useful for testing scenarios that involve media devices, screen sharing, or permissions.

Would it be possible to consider adding support for this in a future release?

      No other upvotes here, so unfortunately, this has to wait.

        Hi, I understand that this request doesn’t have other upvotes and is therefore not prioritized.
        However, please note that even if no one else votes for it, I currently need this feature for testing the product of the company I work for.

        Thank you for your response, but since I cannot keep waiting and my testing timeline has already run out, I will definitely look for an alternative tool that provides this functionality.

          We can implement this feature if your company subscribes to our product. Then we can assign the team and deliver it. This level of commitment is necessary when no one is interested in this feature.

            This feature is a requirement for us. Our team is currently testing your solution, and its absence impacts our ability to properly evaluate the product. We need to explore options for having this feature implemented before making a commitment.
