I'm working on a bot for a game and currently finding how I could get it to see the browser tab (on chromebook/linux rn btw). My idea is to feed it a livestream of the tab and have it interact using OpenCV but don't know if OpenCV can take video.

Is there anyway I could get OpenCV to look at the tab?

    No. OpenCV can only handle video files or streams that come from hardware directly plugged into your computer, like a webcam. It cannot use a stream that comes from a browser tab as input. – rayryeng Aug 18 '22 at 03:51
  • so if i pluged in a hdmi cord and put the webcam next to the monitor that it was using the hdmi to show itself on it would work? – William Reams Aug 18 '22 at 04:09
