I use Ubuntu 22 (Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, Gnome 42.9, Windowing system: Wayland). I should be able to share my screen in e.g. Teams, but at the moment I can only share one tab of the browser. I looked in the webrtc instructions that if you put in Chrome: chrome://flags/ => WebRTC PipeWire support : Enabled, you should be able to share the entire screen. Does not work. You can test this, for example, on the page: https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html => Screen sharing is only possible in "Chrome tab", but not in "Windows" or "Entire Screen". I'm interested in getting that "Entire screen" working. Going back to Xorg is not a solution. The machine has a version of pipewire installed: λ> sudo apt list --installed *pipewire* gstreamer1.0-pipewire/jammy-updates,now 0.3.48-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed,automatic] libpipewire-0.3-0/jammy-updates,now 0.3.48-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed,automatic] libpipewire-0.3-common/jammy-updates,jammy-updates,now 0.3.48-1ubuntu3 all [installed,automatic] libpipewire-0.3-modules/jammy-updates,now 0.3.48-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed,automatic] pipewire-bin/jammy-updates,now 0.3.48-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed,automatic] pipewire-media-session/jammy,now 0.4.1-2ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic] pipewire/jammy-updates,now 0.3.48-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed,automatic] If anyone has successfully configured that "Entire screen" screen sharing to work with Ubuntu 22 and Wayland, I'd be happy to receive tips here.
Works for me both in Firefox and Chrome on Wayland Gnome 42.9. I don't think I did anything for that. Intel GPU. Browsers asked me what monitor I want to share (I chose built-in). Then a yellow screen sharing icon appeared in tray (indicating recording).

I'm deeply sorry. I assumed (never assume) that this is a Wayland issue. It turned out that I had messed my desktop at some point. The screen sharing works now (after: sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome gnome-remote-desktop).

Ah, sorry. I missed that. I now marked this thread as solved.
