--video-selector

CLI: --video-selector
REST: video_selector

ValueSELECTOR

Records only the element matching this CSS selector. The element’s box is measured once when recording starts and crops every frame.

A selector that is empty or matches nothing is an error. It applies to WebM, MP4 and MKV output, and is rejected with any other output type or --full-page.
