There are many use cases for this. A few of mine are: Digital Signage Video outputs on the digital signage "player" computer feed one or more LED sign controllers and need to be set to specific video modes (resolution, refresh rate, color depth, etc). Digital signage "player" applications have top level windows that need to be placed on specific video outputs and sized and positioned at specific screen pixel coordinates for the LED signs to display properly. (LCD digital signage has similar requirements) Simple VLC Security Camera Viewer I want to create a script or simple application that launches 6 VLC instances which stream video from 6 network connected cameras. Each VLC application window has to be sized and positioned to a specific area of the screen. Desktop Application Automation I use a 6-button Stream Deck keypad to automate various tasks. One of my buttons is programmed to activate my Google Meet video conference window (i.e. bring it to the front and put focus on it). I currently do this with the X based xdotool utility: xdotool search --name '^Meet - .+$' windowactivate
