Discord screenshare won't load

Upon trying to screen-share  on discord it doesn't load using the desktop app, this makes me very frustrated because I  need to be able to do that. It's fine on x11 but why not on Wayland? I use KDE Plasma btw.

Re: Discord screenshare won't load

normal because discord is an xwayland app without proper portal integration and wayland has much stricter control of which applications are allowed to grab the screen for security purposes. The package xwaylandvideobridge exists to fix this, is that installed and started (it should autostart on next login when installed) Make sure xdg-desktop-portal-kde is installed and started with

systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal-kde
