   Screen sharing is hard.

     @kolev I think I have to start sway with `dbus-launch --exit-with-session sway` but it does work for me with guix and sway.

     @kolev actually it might be a little more complicated since I also did some things using Guix home services that I cribbed from @daviwil or @abcdw . Feel free to see if any of it helps you: https://github.com/cmack/dotfiles/tree/main/cmack

     Agh, OK. Thanks. So complicated...

     @kolev @charliemac @daviwil Both browsers support screensharing, in chromium you may need to enable enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer .

     Also, some dbus, pipewire and xdg-desktop portals setup also required. In RDE it should work out of the box.

     @abcdw @kolev @charliemac In addition to using the `home-dbus-service-type` and installing `xdg-desktop-portal`, `xdg-desktop-portal-gtk`, and `xdg-desktop-portal-wlr`, I also add this line as the last line of my Sway configuration:

     `exec dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway`

     That makes sure the user-level dbus session has the right environment variables set to aid in screen sharing.

     @abcdw I'm using rde but have not added PipeWire. Is that my problem?

     @kolev @charliemac @daviwil it's very likely, screensharing works through pipewire.

     @abcdw Added the following code. It seems to build. Will test later to see if screen sharing works.

     (define-module (kickstart)
     #:use-module (rde packages linux)
     
     (rde-config-home-environment
     (rde-config
     (features
     (list
     (feature-pipewire)
     (feature-backlight))))))

     @abcdw

     OK, I added those lines, logged out, and logged back in. Ungoogled Chromium (Wayland) still does not let me share the screen.

     @abcdw

     It is now.

     Same result: I click to share whole screen, and it won't let me click it.

     @kolev @charliemac @daviwil Is chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer enabled?
