WFM on NixOS unstable. To use screen sharing I need to log into GNOME with X, not Wayland.

Do you use the unstable version of firefox or the mozilla nixpkgs one? Does regular chat work for you in wayland without issue?

Just `pkgs.firefox`. I don't use Wayland, as mentioned, because of the screen sharing issue.

Screensharing on Wayland does work, but may require some config changes. I use it on Ubuntu (worked out of the box if I recall), so I can't speak to what config is need for nixos.

I can report that Wayland + Chromium screenshare does work. I haven't tried screenshare with Wayland + Firefox, mainly because I think I had other video/audio problems during calls with Firefox.

This is on Gnome (Ubuntu) so there may be some default Ubuntu config that makes Wayland screensharing work, may need to do some searching online if your distro/setup doesn't have Wayland screensharing working.
