Hi !
Which element app are you using (https://element.io/download) ?
And how did you install the app?

Thanks

I'm using:

Version von Element: 1.11.80
Krypto-Version: Rust SDK 0.7.2 (7a21514), Vodozemac 0.7.0

downloaded from the website, auto updated.

the crash is when using the experimental element call, not the legacy element call functionality.

has happened a couple of times to me so not a one-off crash

This is happening to me, too. I got the following error output when I clicked the share screen button:

Of course, I am running the nightly version under Wayland on Arch Linux, so it's impressive anything works for me.
