APIs for persistent remote access and headless/hybrid sessions

[David Edmundson]

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out and keeping us in the loop. It's better now
than after something has been implemented.

We are definitely interested in working in this area. We have a lot of
the proposed core infrastructure that's listed in that proposed
specification; pipewire, creation of virtual screens, libei access is
coming soon. It's "just" a case of gluing everything together.

The current portal API is expanding with a concept of tokens to allow
creation of streams without user prompts and access. I was hoping this
would suffice if it was coupled with some mechanism to get these
tokens ahead of time?

Does Chrome Remote Desktop provide the server part that runs on the
client computer? Or is it using some network API to connect to talk to
the existing gnome/kde remote-desktop server?
