Is there a way to screenshare under wayland in firefox (using jitsi) without installing PipeWire?
Hi all,

I use wayland and I need to screenshare on jitsi. It uses WebRTC to
screenshare. I don't have PipeWire and use just ALSA instead (running
apulse for firefox). Is there any way for me to screenshare without
installing PipeWire?

Thank you!

I suspect you may get more information on the jitsi community forum:
https://community.jitsi.org/. I just tried starting Wayland, and
although a basic connection to my jitsi server worked, firefox seemed
to think it was sharing the screen (although I don't recall it asking
which window or screen to share.) It didn't work in chromium either,
but again, there was no real error or indication there was a problem,
just no sharing. I'm running Pulseadio, but do not have pipewire
installed.
