An easy way to share my screen

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How?? There are so many tools for that now, I can even do it in teams

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My work uses slack. The screenshare doesn't work with Wayland. Steam link/remote play doesn't work with a Wayland host (at least it hasn't every time i have tried it). For my gaming pc i only switch to X when i want to use the steam link and use Wayland the other 99.99% of the time because in general it is better. For work i exclusively run X. I started with Wayland, but then there were several occasions where i had to logout then login again switching to X just so i could share my screen which was a massive pain. I love Wayland, but i can totally understand people not wanting to switch until the tools they are used to (or are required to use) work properly under Wayland.

XWaylandVideoBridge should work for slack.

Good news: Discord just updated their Electron version.

OBS?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I couldn't get OBS working on OpenSuse with Wayland. Works on x11.

Huh, works flawlessly for me on NixOS. Have you made sure that you're using Pipewire and have the correct xdg-desktop-portal?

This is great an all but the way to "get it working" in X is just install it and it works.

Mine works okay on Debian 12 plasma. It was a little work to get it to not require root. The flat pack worked out of the box but then plugins became an issue so I went back and screwed with permissions till I got it working.
