I suspect this is because of bug 2091952, where xdg-desktop-portal-gnome takes long to start and meanwhile gnome-shell thinks the portal is unavailable and thus screencast is unavailable.
Indeed I installed gtk4 version 4.16.3+ds-0ubuntu1 from oracular into plucky and screen recording is back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2092811 Title: Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky screencast disappeared To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2092811/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
