Discord not sharing screen when using wayland and ubuntu

Note

Context: By default, Discord, depending on the operating system version and the way Discord was installed, may have a bug with Wayland. The company's computers do not come with this restriction to force the use of XOrg (system graphics servers). Therefore, the default Discord application cannot access the graphics server, and therefore cannot share the screen.

Important

In the Gnome=46 version (gnome-shell --version), using flatpak (Discord v0.0.96), this error no longer occurs. A guide for Discord screen sharing on Wayland. 1

To fix this error, follow the tutorial:

  1. Open the file:
sudo vim /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
  1. Uncomment line:
#WaylandEnable=false
# Se não tiver essa linha comentada, adicione
WaylandEnable=false
  1. Save and exit :wq

  2. Restart
