I’ve shared individual Wayland windows through Chrome and Google Meet: 1. ⁠Go to chrome://flags 2. ⁠Search "Preferred Ozone platform" 3. ⁠Set it to "Wayland" 4. ⁠Restart Chrome You can also launch Chrome with: --ozone-platform=wayland When you go to share, it’ll ask you for permission and you can choose whole screen or certain windows.  It might be something that requires GNOME’s mutter though, I haven’t tried any other Wayland-compatible desktop environment. I’ve used it with Zoom too, although not recently since my job requires Meet. --  Jonathan Billings On Sat, Oct 29, 2022 at 4:40 PM Slade Watkins via users <users@lists.fedoraproject.org> wrote: On 10/28/22 2:51 AM, Mike Wright wrote: > > > I just found the best explanation of the linux graphics system ever.  It > covers the history of Xorg, X11, and Wayland, and explains why Wayland > is the future.  Ironically, the future is always in the future... > > As informative as they come. Will definitely have to check it out at some point! Thanks for sharing. I still use X11, even though both the distros I use (Fedora and Pop!_OS) have support for it. I am just ancient and set in my ways, haha. -srw _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
