It's a problem with zoom. iirc zoom only allows screensharing on wayland even though they use desktop portals api, which should work on plasma. You could set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME envvar when launching zoom to fake running gnome, i.e. `env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME <zoom command>`. only allows screensharing on gnome* Thanks for the tip, but it does not work: when I click on screen sharing and then select the portal, no window appears. Moreover, the application is now blurry at 200% scaling. Today I tried to share screen in BBB in firefox, but the KDE screen sharing portal does not appear either. So I think it is a general problem in my setup, not only a Zoom problem. So I change the title to be more generic. I am on Debian testing. I tried to search on the internet, but I found no answer to my problem. Maybe some missing packages? I do have xdg-desktop-portal-kde installed. CC'ing Aleix, maybe he knows what might be wrong. So I solved my problem! I had installed the xdg-desktop-portal-kde package, but a restart of my computer was further needed. Probably because the systemd daemon was not running. Now I can start using the Wayland session seriously... Thanks. |
