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