Screen sharing doesn't work with Wayland

Hi, I have trouble sharing my screen. There is no option to share a single window, etc. The only options are "Use system desktop capture," "Use system window capture," and "Whiteboard." The first two options show the whole desktop oversaturated and so bright that the others can't see any details. When I click Stop sharing, Zoom hangs and can only be closed forcefully (kill process) and restarted, connecting to a conference again. The only option is to switch to an X11 session and launch Zoom there. I read in a newsletter from 2024-01-22 that this bug had been fixed in version 5.11.1. But I use version 6.2.6 (2503), installed from .deb, and it's still the same.

My system configuration:

  • Operating System: TUXEDO OS 4 (based on Ubuntu 24.04.1)
  • KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
  • KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
  • Qt Version: 6.7.2
  • Kernel Version: 6.11.0-103009-tuxedo (64-bit)
  • Graphics Platform: Wayland
  • Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics
  • Memory: 30.7 ГіБ of RAM
  • Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics
  • AMD GPU driver: 23.0.0

Yes! I can confirm that it works provided that one has

"Settings->Share screen ->Advanced->Screen caputre on Wayland = Pipewire mode".

Thanks for fixing and case closed!
