The ext-image-capture-source-v1 and ext-image-copy-capture-v1 screen copy protocols build upon wlroots’ wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1 with various improvements for better screen capture support under Wayland. These new protocols should allow for better performance and window capturing support for use-cases around RDP/VNC remote desktop, screen sharing, and more.

Merge Request: Create ext-image-capture-source-v1 and ext-image-copy-capture-v1

      It drives me crazy. Just release it 18+months ago and iterate with versions, at least your users will have the feature in their hands.

          It is kind of shooting at the ambulance, zoom needs to also adapt to the new API. The alternative is a completely non functional Wayland for videoconferencing for years… Unusable stable is not better than unstable usable IMHO at least you have a shot at fixing it for the second option.

      I assume they went with way land as a compromise.
