<p>The article shows the tweaks I had to make to my system in order to
|
|
be able to share my screen in Zoom, and capture my screen in
|
|
OBS under Gnome on Wayland on Gentoo.</p>
|
|
|
|
<hr />
|
|
|
|
<h2>Update</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>While I thought this was working, when I came to a meeting to share
|
|
my screen, my collegues could not see anything bar a single application.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I did some troubleshooting on my own using Zooms record feature and
|
|
was unable to resolve it using the Zoom flatpak package.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I installed Zoom directly as an ebuild and was able to see the entire screen
|
|
using that.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Zoom</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Firstly, I'm using zoom via Flatpak. Flatpak is an official overlay
|
|
on Gentoo.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once flatpak and zoom is installed via:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code> flatpak install us.zoom.Zoom
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can enable screen sharing via the following tweaks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tweak 1: Allow flatpak to talk to gnome stuff I don't really understand</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code> sudo flatpak override --talk-name=org.gnome.Shell \
|
|
--talk-name=org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot \
|
|
--talk-name=org.gnome.SessionManager \
|
|
--talk-name=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit \
|
|
--talk-name=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver us.zoom.Zoom
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Ref: https://github.com/flathub/us.zoom.Zoom/pull/182</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tweak 2: Set this in your ~/.var/app/us.zoom.Zoom/config/zoomus.conf</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code> [General]
|
|
enableWaylandShare=true
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>OBS-Studio</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This guy Georges Stavracas wrote an OBS plugin to interface with
|
|
xdg-desktop-portal. It works quite well and I've written an ebuild
|
|
for it to work in Gentoo.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can add my overlay <a href="https://github.com/zigford/gentoo-zigford">here</a>
|
|
or pilfer my ebuild directly under media-plugins/obs-xdg-portal.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Hot Tip</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>At first I could not get it to work, and that is because I lacked the
|
|
understanding about how pipewire and xdg-desktop-portal works.
|
|
One thing I found sorely lacking is the documentation. Eventually I
|
|
stumbled upon someone saying you need to enable (or start) pipewire:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code> systemctl --user enable --now pipewire
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now the plugin allows you to pick your desktop. Strangely, the screenshots
|
|
show the ability to choose an app, whereas I can only choose my screen.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Oh well, let me know if you know why.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Cheers</p>
