Chrome off-screen tab capture API, and extension whitelisting

I'd like to use the Chrome off-screen tab capture API in my extension. So, I worked up a manifest with the tabCapture permission, and some code to try it out:

chrome.tabCapture.captureOffscreenTab('http://example.com', {
  audio: true,
  video: true
}, function () {
  console.log(arguments);
});

Unfortunately, I get this error on my console:

Unchecked runtime.lastError while running tabCapture.captureOffscreenTab: Extension is not whitelisted for use of the unstable, in-development chrome.tabCapture.captureOffscreenTab API.

How can I whitelist my extension?

I found a bug report where there was an ask to use _api_features.json rather than hard-coded extension IDs, but I couldn't find that file.

@wOxxOm answered this question!

Snag the ID of the extension on chrome://extensions. Run Chrome like so:

chrome.exe --whitelisted-extension-id=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

It works great!
