Linux Screen Sharing

  1. No one ever told you to use the flatpak version of OBS.
  2. In the issue you linked it is stated that the problem is resolved.
  3. If you are running an immutable environment, that’s kinda a you problem…

That said, none of this is relevant to this discussion. As stated above, the implementation is not yet finished for linux and you were provided with an option how you still might be able to get it to work.

  1. Flatpak is the major way of package distribution if you want it to be or not. There’s a reason it is the default for all third party applications in almost all desktop distributions by now. Ignoring or even disregarding that fact, is nothing short of sheer incompetence.

  2. If you’d actually taken a look, you’d see that there are multiple open issues regarding that closed one — same with its pull request.

  3. No, it’s not an option, as I already told you even with the v4l2loopback-dkms package as describe in the documentation it doesn’t work — and I’m far from the only one having issues with it. I’m happy that it seems to work for you, but selling it as a universal solution couldn’t be much further from the truth with so many reports of issued with Fedora & Alma alone.

I do agree with that, your original comment was totally useless, and I could have worded it better in the first place :3 That still doesn’t change the fact that the “fix” isn’t a fix after all ^^

I am not able to change it to x11 or get it to work, tried both “env XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11”, “XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11” and “GDK_BACKEND=x11”.

For now the only workaround I got working is the virtual camera.

Hi everyone,

I’m running TeamSpeak 6 on Fedora 42 with the following hardware:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5
  • OS: Fedora 42 Workstation (fully updated)

I’m launching TeamSpeak by running the teamspeak file from the extracted tar.gz archive (i.e. not through a system-wide install or package manager).

Everything seems to be working fine—except screen sharing.

When I try to share my screen, I am only given the option to share my camera. I can’t select any display, window, or application to share. The screen share option appears unavailable or completely missing.

Has anyone else run into this issue on Fedora? Is there a known fix or workaround?

Appreciate any help thanks in advance!

Hi guy.

If you are using wayland as default you can’t shared your screen, also if you are using a client 6 agains teamspeak server 3 version you can’t shared any screenshared. To screenshared try to use the X11 sesion and if you want to test it use the official teamspeak community server where you can test the screenshared. The ts6 server version is being testing, is in beta now, and the ts6 client for linux with wayland support is being developed. It was notified in another forum thread. I think it will be ready soon.

We are wiped to have it implemented finally.

I’m courious about the wayland state on the next version of t6 client. I was taking a look to the forum and it seem there is a realese in alfa with video hardware acceleration. Is there any news about the wayland support and video hardware acceleration?

As of now wayland / portal support is not yet implemented in the alpha version. However, I have founded hope to expect it to land in alpha in the not too distant future.

I hope they implement it soon. Bad to hear is not being implemented yet in the alpha release. Linux platform always have to wait to get what the others already have. Wayland should be the firts before X11. Is the future and the present of graphics in linux. X11 is going down. Developers have to focus on it…

The problem might be that Wayland screen capture is broken in nearly all CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) applications. SteamVR is having a similar issue: [BUG] Desktop View blank on Wayland · Issue #693 · ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux · GitHub
