Description

The Idea

A clear and concise description of your idea. If applicable, feel free to add screenshots or mock-ups to illustrate your idea!

Similar to the other Profile Constraints that respond to desktop environment conditions, a setting to set a profile based on an application sharing or recording the screen would allow a profile that behaves similar to gnome-do-not-disturb-while-screen-sharing-or-recording-extension.

Research direction
Examine existing profile constraints in the codebase, such as the 'do not disturb' constraint, to understand the pattern. Investigate how GNOME Shell detects screen sharing or recording (e.g., via DBus or system signals). Look at the issue comment for any hints. Check the repository's source files for constraint implementation, likely in the src/ directory. Consider referencing the linked gnome do not disturb while screen sharing or recording extension for inspiration on integration.
