Hi Arnaud, I managed to get it working based on your description. Here are a few observations that may be of interest:

It will also work if you configure Sway manually, ie. without home-sway-service-type. > I have added both xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr to my > Guix Home packages (via the `packages' field of `sway-configuration'). > In a previous iteration of my setup, they were not in the same > profile, and screen sharing did not work. > > I use `home-pipewire-service-type' and `home-dbus-service-type'.

(So, I didn't need the '--systemd' flag or XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) The other two lines that you have there do not appear to be necessary; screensharing works for me without them.
