How it works
This tool simply mirrors the content of a screen region into a hidden window. In your meeting app you then can just share the content of this hidden window.
Region to Share is not aware of your meeting app nor what the meeting app is doing with the content of the window. It's up to your meeting app whether it properly shares this hidden windows content or not - if it's not working as expected, there is nothing Region to Share can do about this.
