Hi,
To add to the discussion on a layout for screen recording and screen
sharing on ultra wide displays: I am using since a few years a layout
inspired by ThreColMid (which is my work-horse for daily work), where
the resolution of the main window is fixed to a 'standard" resolution.
 
This allows to share the main window without the receiving end being
"overwhelmed" or to record the window in the desired video
resolution.
 
In addition, I use a nested X server (e.g., Xephyr) to share a "clean"
desktop.
 
If anybody is interested to have a look, I put my implementation online:

Best,
        Achim
