I need to attend remote meetings, using teams, zoom, etc. I always prefer to use the web interfaces for those, through chrome (firefox won't work on teams). If I use wayland and I try to share a window, only some windows are available to share - presumably the native X11 ones are not available choices. Until this is resolved it's X11 for me. I’ve shared individual Wayland windows through Chrome and Google Meet: 1. ⁠Go to chrome://flags 2. ⁠Search "Preferred Ozone platform" 3. ⁠Set it to "Wayland" 4. ⁠Restart Chrome You can also launch Chrome with: --ozone-platform=wayland When you go to share, it’ll ask you for permission and you can choose whole screen or certain windows. It might be something that requires GNOME’s mutter though, I haven’t tried any other Wayland-compatible desktop environment. I’ve used it with Zoom too, although not recently since my job requires Meet. -- Jonathan Billings
