Currently when sharing a video URL with Seal, the full app opens.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be much better and visually more pleasant if it was just an overlay with quick settings before starting the download.

I thought on this before. Something like just open the "Configure before downloading" menu?

Exactly! Just the bottom menu overlapping the video app (YouTube, for example).

Understood! The best way to do this i think is just making the MainActivity unvisible

It could be done like how newpipe does it.

This feature has been requested a few times. The difficulty here is that we are using a very new UI framework to build this application, while "system sharing" uses an old-fashioned API, so it may require a UI refactoring to implement. Also, the focus of the next release is on multitasking support, so any other UI changes will be put on hold.

Implement a workaround in v1.3.5
