I saw a closed post on this topic from 6/2023, but I did not see a resolution.
I noticed that screen sharing may not be working in the standard Discord app installed with Octopi. My version is up to date. Everything else about the app seems to be working fine. I do get some options of what to share (rectangular area, screen, etc). When I click on these, I can sometimes get a normal window that indicates shared screen (but my friend in Discord said nothing was visible) and if I then close the streaming when I try to restart streaming the even the choices disappear and a prolonged sort of “looking for streaming device” window is open with no options. I tried to see if I could just use Discord as a tab in Firefox and stream from there, but it appears support for screen sharing in Firefox is no longer present, at least there is no longer any option to click on in the bars next to the address box or in settings to enable. Finally, I git cloned the Webcord third-party client for Discord, as it was supposed to have support for Wayland screen streaming (according to what I read), but when I tried to stream on it, there is a black screen and no way to get out of it but to shut down the app. Does anyone have a way share do screen sharing that is not cumbersome? I saw many videos about more elaborate work-arounds.
Is this an option:? XDG Desktop Portal - ArchWiki.
Thanks.
