Thanks for the report. Not much we can do to be honest though. We rely on the desktop capturer provided by electron which seems to have a bunch of issues with Linux. We will definitely update to newer electron versions once they become stable enough and hope that those address your issue.
Probably happening because we're running on Wayland. Black screen with a cursor is the only thing a lot of X screen recorders can see now. Guess Electron/Chromium are caught up in that too. Would Electron or Chromium be the best place to find a relevant bug to watch?
Hi @different55, I can reproduce this behavior with Wayland. This is a known Electron bug, see https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/200 and https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/10915.
Electron 12 has just been released, with support for Wayland! 🎉 🚀 I've seen people confirming that screen sharing finally works on Wayland in e.g. Slack which also uses Electron under the hood.
Thanks for updating this after all this time @maximbaz !
