Wayland definitely supports screen capture.
- Filligree 6y agoCan you write an application which uses screen capture on Wayland, and which works equally well regardless of compositor? If not, then Wayland doesn't support screen capture. Individual compositors might, but asking developers to implement five separate screen capture protocols is a big ask.
- adrusi 6y agoYou can. The standard is new, but it exists, and now works on Gnome, KDE and wlroots based compositors https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PipeWire https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PipeWire (read past the intro paragraph to where it talks about the various backends available)
