Some (all?) browsers lack the ability to talk with Wayland's screensharing system. A quick workaround that worked for me (using Zoom at least) was to launch that browser session and the windows to be shared in XWayland.
A perhaps more convenient workaround is exposing your entire Wayland session as a fake webcam. I don't remember the name of the software that lets you do this, but it works quite well.
- kaba0 5y agoMost browsers have the ability: firefox and chrome have pipewire support for a long time now, so if they are run as wayland applications (sometimes people don’t even realize what version they are using) they will be able to screenshare just fine.
- gspr 5y agoWow, I hadn't noticed! That's great news! (For anyone else reading: Firefox has had support since version 84.)
