Hydra can use another browser tab or window as a live video source, then process it like any signal

Beyond built-in sources (oscillators, shapes) and camera inputs, Hydra can capture another browser tab or window as a video source via the browser’s screen-capture picker. Any on-screen content (a website, a live video, a social feed) can enter the signal chain and then be processed, modulated and fed back through the patch. Jack notes limits: in the browser version, restrictions constrain which internet videos can be used directly (already-hosted, unrestricted sources like Internet Archive work), whereas the downloadable Atom-editor version handles local videos and files more easily.

Examples

Jack picks her own Twitter tab as a source and feeds it through a feedback loop so the page content becomes part of the live visuals; the event livestream can likewise be captured as a source.

Assessment

How does window capture differ from using a webcam in Hydra? What restricts using arbitrary internet video as a source in the browser version versus the Atom app?
