OBSERVED RESULT Currently, KDE screen sharing does not work under Wayland with Zoom. EXPECTED RESULT KDE screen sharing portal should be used SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Bookworm (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.97.0 Qt Version: 5.15.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I don't know if this is a problem with Zoom or if the KDE screen sharing portal is not ready yet, but this is a shortcoming when using KDE/Wayland.
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.
