Screen sharing under Wayland still is unusable because there is no way to stop it once started.
Over a year ago we were seeing titles like "Zoom Linux App Now Supports Screensharing on Wayland" but as far as I can tell this is not true now and has never ever been true. There are some other posts here which point out the problem but they seem to have gone unnoticed by any people actually working for Zoom, so I will try to post another one and hopefully it will get some attention. Basically, for a long time screen sharing did not work at all, but finally Zoom made some fixes and now we can start up screen sharing. But in my experience and that of others reported in some threads here, once the screen sharing is started, it cannot be stopped. This really makes screen sharing unuseable. PLEASE FIX ZOOM SO WE CAN STOP SCREEN SHARING ONCE IT HAS STARTED. The problem is twofold. First, most significantly, the floating toolbar that allows one to stop screening (as well as alter it in other ways) DISAPPEARS after it has been shown for only about ten seconds. It seems impossible to get it back (no matter what settings one has in the settings dialog, contrary to what some people have suggested). Second, there is supposed to be a keybinding, Alt-S to stop screen sharing. But it also has no effect. It is possible that Zoom cannot figure out how to get the floating toolbar to keep showing under Wayland (people have reported both in various versions of Gnome and also KDE this happens). But surely in order to make their program USABLE at least, they can AT LEAST fix the keybinding so that it works to stop the screen sharing? This seems like a trivial thing to do, which will move Zoom from being unusable under Wayland to very usable, even without the bells and whistles of the invisible toolbar. Please! Thank you.
