I am not able to share screen while on wayland session. Sadly i really need that functionality for work so i use x, that is the only issue i have with wayland. Good news is that they only plan to do this in gtk5 hopefully things will get better until then.
- jmercan 4y agoFrom what I see, most Wayland aware applications have converged on using PipeWire (through XDG Portal) for screen sharing. Personally I use PipeWire anyway but I'll admit telling people to replace more of their setup as a solution isn't very nice. Also there might be oddballs like how Zoom used to use the GNOME screenshot API for a while.
- sph 4y agoLatest Zoom release supports Wayland screen sharing. The only oddball these days is Discord, because they refuse to ship an updated version of Electron. Works fine in-browser.
- jayofdoom 4y agoYou can absolutely run pipewire for screen sharing while running something else for an audio server. If your distribution doesn't provide this as a supported setup, I suggest you check with them.
- jbotz 4y agoOn Fedora 36 with Gnome/Wayland screen sharing works (using RDP protocol).
- grandinj 4y agoWorks well, or just barely? Because the last time I checked it still had highly annoying 500ms lag and would sometimes miss screen updates.
