Make screenshare work in wayland

Nov 25, 2021 > Read more ...

[UPDATE]
fuck it, why the fuck do I need to pull pipewire and wireplumber and 1024 other dependencies only for a fucking screensharing to work? This pipewire thing is also trying to take control of audio. I DON’T FUCKING NEED IT THANKS! . Can’t we just have something that do one thing and one thing well?

Just do this instead, use v4l2loopback and wf-recorder, set up a virtual webcam!

sudo modprobe v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1 card_label=VirtualVideoDevice
wf-recorder --muxer=v4l2 --codec=rawvideo --pixel-format yuv420p \
            --force-yuv --file=$(ls /dev/video* | tail -n1)
