Is there any skype version with working screen sharing + audio?

At best I have found that from the browser version I can share the screen, but for my use case I need a version where I can at least screenshare a program with it's audio

using MS Edge (microsoft-edge-stable-bin) I can share both video, audio and screen in most conferencing web-applications, including Skype, Teams etc.

When I use the web version I can only share the audio of web pages, not programs or the screen

I didn't know that Skype was still a thing. Looks like this is what you need: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skypeforlinux-bin

Mod note: Moving to AUR Issues.

Currently tried that in a VM (for now I switched back to windows, will probably wait for a few updates of other stuff, then try Linux again), this version seems to work. I have got 2 screens, when I tried it in Wayland the button didn't appear, in X11 It had a broken ui.

I have reinstalled linux and tried this version, screenshare works, but I can't share audio on  X11
