Description

@GalouFR

Steps to reproduce

When I am in a video conference and I want to share my screen this does not work, the dialog box which allows you to choose between the whole screen and a window appears but it is empty and the share button at the bottom right is grayed out when I use Wayland on the other hand it works correctly with x11 the dialog box shows my screen correctly and I can share it.

Outcome

What did you expect?

I wish to have a fix or solution to make it work natively with the default ubuntu configuration (wayland)

What happened instead?

The share button is grayed out and it is impossible to select the screen or application to share because it does not appear.
