Fedora Silverblue - Can't Share Screen in Google Meet, Zoom or my own RTC platform anymore

Hello,

  • Are you running Gnome DE ?
  • If yes are you on Wayland ?
  • If yes then you must absolutly select Gnome on xOrg as many application does not run correctly on Wayland… Specially for Screen recording and Screen sharing…

To check if x11 or Wayland :

echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP; echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE;

This should fix easily your problem by using X11 instead of Wayland.
As Wayland is not well supported at all, specially for Screen Recording & Screen Sharing

SOME EXAMPLE

On Fedora 36 : Screen Recording and Screen Sharing failures on Gnome DE Wayland ( and running perfectly on X11 )

Changing Distro will change nothing if Wayland is still used…

ANOTHER EXAMPLE

Best regards,
GEPLinux
