By default sharing screen in wayland via browsers (Chrome/Firefox) or other tools such as anydesk may not work. To enable screen sharing at least via Chrome so that during online meetings (eg Webex, meet.jit.si, etc.) screen can be shared use:

  1. Install required packages 
    dnf install -y xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
  2. Configure flag enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer in Chrome to value "Enabled" instead of default by opening "Chrome://flags" and then searching for "webrtc-pipewire" in search
  3. After this sharing screen should work properly. It will lead to a OS popup for sharing the screen where you can select "Default monitor" to be shared.
