I noticed that both the Firefox and Chromium snaps do work in Debian 11, which uses an older xdg-desktop-portal than Ubuntu 22.04. I wondered what would happen if I'd install xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop- portal-gtk 1.8 from 21.10 in 22.04, and it turns out that this fixes it.
So I guess that both the Firefox and Chromium snaps are incompatible with xdg-desktop-portal 1.10. (The Firefox deb and Flatpak show the same problem by the way. Downgrading xdg-desktop-portal fixes it everywhere.) -- 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/1950040 Title: Wayland Screensharing broken in Ubuntu 21.10 Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in pipewire package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in xdg-desktop-portal package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Freshly installed Ubuntu 21.10, screen sharing does not work with any browser, tested the following options: - Firefox snap - Firefox deb - Chromium snap - Chromium flatpak Steps to reproduce: 1.

Notice the orange screen share indicator in Gnome-Shell but actually nothing is shared in the browser. This should be handled high priority since this is a critical feature during the pandemic. Filed against ubuntu-meta since I don't know exactly which package to blame, whether it's pipewire, xdg-desktop portal or some problem directely with mutter / gnome-shell, please reassign accordingly.
