Share screen on Wayland

[pedronovaes]

Hi,

I'm working from home now and I need to share my screen several times.

Searching on web, I discovered this topic https://askubuntu.com/questions/1313369/screen-sharing-with-wayland, where the post's author said that

The easy solution is to use ubuntu 21.04 or later which properly integrates pipewire. Ubuntu 21.04 also defaults to wayland (intel and amd only) so pipewire screen sharing should work out of the box.

My question is: how can I integrate pipewire on Debian 10? Is it just install the pipewire package (https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=pipewire) from official Debian repo?

Thanks

$ aptitude search pipewire

pipewire is in Buster's (current Debian stable) repo, but it probably is older version than Ubuntu's, try and see.

Just installed pipewire using this command

Code: Select all

sudo apt pipewire

and it didn't work. Any idea?

Did you reboot?

Have you looked at e.g. Chrome Remote Desktop https://remotedesktop.google.com/
Or the Screen Sharing Extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... looa?hl=en

Should work, for the moment, on Chromium Browser.

I did these steps (from this post https://soyuka.me/make-screen-sharing-wayland-sway-work/) and after reboot, the share screen option worked:

1. Enable the flag #enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer on Google Chrome
2. Install these packages pipewire and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
