Description

Window thumbnails keep selected content visible while you work elsewhere. The extension creates scaled-down live clones of windows, useful for watching a meeting, video, progress window, or monitoring view during another task.

It is a visual multitasking aid inside GNOME Shell. Be careful with private windows, because a thumbnail may keep sensitive content visible even when the original window is not in focus.
