Description postix 2022-03-10 16:43:04 UTC 
SUMMARY

While selecting any screen or windows works fine for recording in OBS, in Chromium [1] I can only select Wayland windows. Wayland screens can be selected but are black and XWayland windows do not appear at all for selection.

AFAIK it works under Gnome 41 Wayland, that's why I guess it could be a KWin Wayland issue. 
You can try to share you screen e.g. in some Jitsi Meet conference room: https://meet.jit.si/kdebug123

Using
```
/usr/bin/chromium --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer --ozone-platform=wayland
```
I can indeed get a screen / window chooser, where I can see the previews of all screens and XWayland + Wayland windows. 
However, when I tried to share them in Zoom, the other side only received a black screen.
