I'm not sure if I want to open up a bunch of bug reports since I think they are
all sort of similar, so I'm going to list the issues here. If I need to open up
bug reports for any of these, just let me know.

1 -  Attempting to cast your screen more than once can cause future screen
casts to fail in programs like Webcord/Discord, Guilded, Element, Telegram
Desktop, and more.
2 -  When you are casting a windowed full-screen application, such as a game,
the rendering for that program will stop when you click on it to bring it to
focus. When you press the Windows key to remove focus the game will continue to
render. If you select "pipewire source window" in OBS and do the same thing to
try and record the window it will also stop the game from rendering. If you
screen cast your entire display you won't have this issue.
3 - Each window source that you are casting in programs like OBS will have it's
own "capture" window in your app indicators, I think this should stack and not
fill up my entire task bar as I decorate my OBS streams. When you stop casting
I've noticed that these app indicators stay indicating that something may be
going wrong when attempting to stop the cast, likely related to issue 1.
4 - Screen casting a program forced to be ran in xwayland, such as the Discord
client, will result in the xvideo bridge crashing when you launch a game and
attempt to change your window source to this game. When this happens all
programs running under xwayland will close without warning and when you open up
Steam again any attempts to launch games will fail.
5 - For some reason Electron based program windows can become unresponsive only
after attempting to screen cast at some point. It seems like a domino affect
after experiencing issues above.

All of these issues popped up after pulling in the new KDE 6.1 updates which I
believe shipped the "fix" for this problem. I apologize for leaving all of this
as a comment here, but honestly the amount of issues are staggering and trying
to troubleshoot all of them at once is overwhelming to think about when you
just want to work or play on your computer.
