Starting from Ubuntu 21.04 the pipewire libs are bundled in Ubuntu itself, to allow screen sharing over webrtc. This allows Firefox to cast screen properly, which is great :)
However, since the Chromium snap is missing the pipewire support (currently 90.0.4430.85), it's not possible to set the flag chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer to true, which effectively disables screen sharing on Chromium. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849478 Title: [snap] (experimental) pipewire support not available Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using the chromium snap (currently 77.0.3865.120, rev 899), it's not possible to enable experimental support for pipewire, as the toggle doesn't show up in chrome://flags. It would be nice to have chromium compiled with pipewire support, to enable screensharing in Hangouts and similar apps.
