I just found the best explanation of the linux graphics system ever.  It covers the history of Xorg, X11, and Wayland, and explains why Wayland is the future.  Ironically, the future is always in the future... As informative as they come.

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 Thanks, but just tried it - doesn't work.  I only see one window available to share.  I have also a konsole window and okular running, but these are not shown as choices under share window.  I started chrome with --ozone-platorm=wayland in a waland-plasma session.  Then I started google meet from this chrome browser.  I believe only wayland-native windows show as choices in the 'share window'.  Interesting that emacs shows up - it is recent 28.1.91 (a pre-release of 28.2 I guess).  Tried opening several other apps, including firefox with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, but none show as choices to share except emacs. _______________________________________________ users mailing list --users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email tousers-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives:https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedora...
