Chrome 104 beta comes with the trial version of Shared Element Transitions and with new video features
The team of Chromium (here for more information) has released the beta version of Chrome 104with new features including a trial version of Shared Element Transitions. This brings simpler and more advanced transition animations to the web platform. But it also offers the first implementation of video region capture, for transmitting a cropped region as video, along with two other new proofs of origin.
How the new Chrome 104 beta works
The main use case of Region Capture are video conferencing applications where developers only need to broadcast part of a browser tab to other participants. Region Capture allows developers to define a cropTarget based on a container, which currently must be a div or an iFrame, and use it to crop a video track of that card.
The first new trial version is Shared Element Transitions, a feature CSS e JavaScript useful for both single page and multipage applications. A shared element transition can be an animation between two web pages, or in which an element transforms into a full page, or between different user interface elements, or for an element entering or exiting the screen.

The third is a user who forgoes credit card storage when using the Secure Payment Confirmation API. Developers enable it by passing showOptOut to a builder PaymentRequest. Why wasn’t this part of the spec from the start?
Traditionally, access to the opt-out experience is embedded directly on the relying party’s website. However, in the case of SPC, the relying party may not be part of the web content stream, as the authentication may be initiated from a third party website (e.g. a merchant’s site),
