Curious from people who follow its development closely.

  • What protocol are about to be finally implemented?
  • Which ones are still a struggle?
  • How many serious protocols are there missing?

    I want to switch to get high refresh rates on my multi monitor setup. I tried recently again but I can’t for the life of me get screen sharing working, which I need for work.

    Edit: With some help here and a Slack update released yesterday to fix the problem, it’s working in both Zoom and Slack!

      What were you trying to screen share with?

      Most of the apps people are using are Electron, which has supported Wayland and the pipewire screensharing for nearly 4 years. However since Chrome/Chromium doesn’t enable Wayland by default, Electron won’t. Which also means that no one tests it in their apps.

      I’ve had such success just ignoring the apps and using the web client since that’s up to date and doesn’t require the app builders to enable features.

      At least under Fedora.

      Your work app may be electron based (which is a bit too common nowadays), and until they update to electron 29, wayland won’t probably work.

      (or until they add xwayland video bridge, but the former option is better than the latter.

        I didn’t know I needed the desktop portal for my DE as well, I’ve installed that now. Between that and updating Zoom it works on Zoom now, thanks.
