Does Screen Sharing Work on Linux Client?

[Erman.Yafay]

Hi,

I've been trying the Webex Linux client and realized that the share screen button does not appear at all. Everything else works fine. Does this feature have been included in Linux?

I am using CentOS 8 with Webex Version: 41.7.0.19440. Any directions would be appreciated.

PS: I can share my screen in Google Chrome on Linux.

Thanks

As Alfred has pointed out, Wayland does not support screen share. Switching to X11 fixes the problem.

Since I can't switch to X11 I had to use web.webex.com in google chrome to be available to share windows. I would be very happy when the linux webex client would support window sharing in wayland.

Just tested it with a webex to webex call and it worked with 41.7.0.19440.
But I have Ubuntu 20.04.

Hello Marcel, do you use X11 or Wayland??
