Cries in Slack screen sharing not working in Wayland

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Is this "Wayland changed the way screen sharing works, which broke slack and everything else that does screen share" or "I've gotten screensharing working with everything else but it's still broken in slack"?

I don't use slack so I'm not sure what the specific issue is, but I remember having to install additional packages on Arch (BTW) to get screen sharing working in Plasma (my three use cases being discord, Google meet, and steam remote play).

It is broken in Slack. Apparently it’s supposed to be an easy fix and there even was a workaround for it.

But then Slack removed that workaround. I’ve heard it’s possible to get it working again, but it’s harder.

Edit: I don’t blame Wayland for it. The entire problem is on Slack, as screen sharing works for other programs.
