Screen sharing works in Firefox ESR on Wayland. So I still have
options. Just that few features - like blur background etc. doesn't
work in FF.

That doesn't surprise me much.

Google removed the majority of its APIs from Chromium :

Maybe screen sharing was a Google thing. Especially screen sharing to 
Google Meet.


I think you have no other option than using Google Chrome for your 
meetings.


If that's truly the case, they don't appear to be living up to 
licencing agreement.

Cheers!

Google Chrome can share but Chromium cannot share screen

[Pankaj Jangid]

For a few work related meetings, I have to use Google Meet. But the
screensharing doesn't work in the Chromium installed from stable APT
repository. Clicking on the share-screen icon and then selecting any of
the three options - Tab, Windows, Entire Screen - shows this error
message,

"Your browser can't share your screen"

But if I install and use Google Chrome, then the screen sharing works in
Google Meet.
