Discord Screenshare Showing Error [Solved]

Discord 0.0.93-1 from discord_arch_electron, when trying to select window/screen to share gives a "something went wrong" error.
I'm using Wayland + Hyprland.

Some things I've tried;
Installing _arch_electron, canary etc.
Switching from PipeWire to PulseAudio.
Using the Download from discord.com

Log from stdio can be viewed here, with identifying info removed;

Re: Discord Screenshare Showing Error [Solved]

Are you running the electron version on wayland or xwayland and does it make a difference? For xwayland to properly work you'll likely need https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xwaylandvideobridge or so.

Also make sure xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland is running and properly started as part of the session.

systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

see https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilit … /#xwayland as well.

Re: Discord Screenshare Showing Error [Solved]

Hi! Thanks for the help. A few things fixed this. Firstly the xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland was what I was missing, but switching back from discord_arch_electron to discord was what ultimately solved it. :3
Thanks for the quick reply!
