I have the same problem as you, I cannot share my screen on Google Meet (Black screen), but I can use OBS for recording
"illogical-impulse portal" is just a "meta" package (i.e. a bundle of packages) and has no real content inside itself.
Specifically it contains:
xdg-desktop-portal
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git
Apologies, turns out it was working only intermittently, making it seem as though the uninstall had helped when it was unrelated. I have found the solution and will share here, even though it's not related to the dot. That way anyone else similarly confused might find the solution:
sudo pacman -R teams-for-linux
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ms-teams-for-linux-bin.git
cd ms-teams-for-linux-bin
makepkg -si
Solution from: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/2940
I couldn't share screen on arch with 'teams-for-linux', and after much searching found out that uninstalling 'illogical-impulse-portal' instantly solved the issue.
Is this a known issue? Googling around there seem to be a lot of issues with screen share and Wayland, but other backends seemed to have solved this. This link for example lists backends and their screen share compatibility: (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal).
It's solved for me now by removing the backend, but perhaps it's possible to fix the illogical-impulse portal? I don't know enough to provide the relevant logs, but if there's anything I can provide to help troubleshoot I can reinstall the portal and provide any output here if that helps.
Here is the one error I could capture from teams:
