2 weeks ago Is this just for Baldur's gate or for any game? If I need to host remote play or use a Steam Link, I need to launch Steam with the -pipewire flag, where the system will then ask for the screen sharing permission. Since you've marked that you're on Wayland, you should try that as well.

2 weeks ago It's not for every game, just for ones that have a launcher.
Adding the -pipewire flag works, except then a new problem is introduced, which is that the brightness (contrast?) appears to be cranked to 1000 on the client. The host still looks normal.

2 weeks ago Ah, that's rather unfortunate. Maybe it's a pipewire bug? Either way, it's a bit of a dirty workaround if you ever need to use it. šš
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I've been most consistently been able to reproduce this issue when attempting to play Baldur's gate. When launching from a steam link app (device doesn't make a difference), the game begins on the host machine by starting the launcher, and on the client, I get a "Live Broadcast - Please Stand By" still image. If I go to the host machine manually and click through the launcher, the client starts working fine. This is almost acceptable, except I can't do it using mouse control from the client, so my attempted workaround is to try using the --skip-launcher option for Baldur's gate. Unfortunately, the "Stand By" image still appears on the client, but the game launches normally. The result is that I can't play the game remotely at all if I attempt to skip the launcher.
I can also confirm that the standby screen shows with any game when I switch window focus on the host computer, which I assume is some sort of desired behavior, but doesn't appear to have any setting that lets me control it either in plasma or steam.
