Jitsi Meet 2024.5.0 Flatpak won't launch under Wayland on Fedora Kinoite 40.20240526.0
Since it wouldn't launch from its app icon, I ran it from the command line to see if I got an error.
eric$ flatpak run org.jitsi.jitsi-meet

Turning off the "Wayland Windowing System" checkbox in "Application Permissions" allowed me to run Jitsi Meet under Wayland:

So, there is a workaround, but previous versions of the Jitsi Meet Flatpak worked under Wayland, so I assume this workaround isn't how the app is intended to be run.
Please let me know if I can provide more information.
Thank you!

Reproducibility
[ ] The problem is reproducible on meet.jit.si
More details?
I did not check the "Reproducability" checkbox since the app exits before I get to specify a server.
Also, I was able to use Jitsi in Chrome without any issue.

I searched for the error and found this forum thread that suggests turning off the app's permission to use Wayland
