Additional information

This used to work, I do not know when it stopped working (I tested 6.2.4 and it also crashes)
I start ferdium with
ferdium --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer

Tried on Sway and Hyprland with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git seperately.

I just tried it on 6.2.6.nightly.1 and it is still present.

It looks like elecron bug (electron/electron#36660). eg. jitsi-meet uses older elecron (jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron#829)

[hadogenes]

for me last good version was 6.2.3

yes indeed, this version works.

yeah elecron version is the problem - when I changed elecron version to latest 21 (21.4.2) in package.json screen sharing works

I'm still getting crashes on electron version 22.3.3 and ferdium 6.2.6-1

Getting crashes here. Wayland on Fedora 37. Any plans to fix that? I am using Ferdium for Teams and screen share not working is very problematic!

There is valuable info here about the potential root cause and solutions electron/electron#36660

As the origin of the problem seems to be in Chromium, I don't fully understand why Teams (for example) is impacted in electron and not in recent Chromium (the patch is 9 months old)

I face the same issue with flatpak 6.3.0 on wayland on Opensuse Tumbleweed.

This seems to be fixed since https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app/releases/tag/v6.4.1-nightly.4
