Why be like this


Zoom is actually one of the view applications that can screen share on Wayland

I believe it's only enabled for a few distros though


Zoom uses a proprietary gnome API / hack to do it I believe. It works on Gnome only. Note that with pipewire, wayland screensharing already works on Chrome/Firefox (for all of the video chat apps), and it will come to electron eventually. I imagine in a year or two screensharing on wayland will become seamless for most things.


If you know how to make that work I’m all ears. I run Debian testing, wayland, gnome. I tried to screen share yesterday and got a popup about how its not supported. Maybe mu zoom client is out-of-date?


What does "enabled for a few distros" mean?


Does it work with the browser version?


Been addicted for a few months now, really great to see how it's shaping and developing in this rich community. Hope it sticks around for a long time.


You could offer/sell it to https://cock.li, seems like a domain he would be interested in.


Thanks! Didn't know that such service exists :)
