wf-recorder VS Jitsi Meet

Try wf-recorder.

The closest thing is probably wf-recorder.

The spec is designed to be minimal and it's expected for compositors to work together and add additional features, for example here is the tool for screen recording on wlroots compositors (sway and what most wayland WM's use) https://github.com/ammen99/wf-recorder, even though most people claim wayland doesn't support screen-recording/screenshotting. We just don't have a universal tool for that that works on all compositors, pipewire however seems to be coming to fill that niche.

If you are on Wayland, wf-recorder Is a good choice .

As for screen recording, I’ve used wf-recorder (IIRC, not at PC atm) several times the past couple of weeks, works equally well.

The issue I'm encountering is described here in more detail (including images).

Wfrecorder [0] is what I use, doesn't have a fancy gui but it just works

A workaround for sharing the whole screen is to use wf-recorder [1], which supports capturing the whole screen, and feeding its output to a virtual V4L2 device using v4l2loopback [2]. Software that is able to capture from a V4L2-compatible webcam (i.e. most) can them capture from the virtual device without knowing anything about Wayland. It's not exactly the most CPU-efficient way of doing things, but if you can afford the cycles it works very well!

You want to use wf-recorder. This is in my sway config:

> set $screenrecord wf-recorder -g "$(slurp)" -f ~/screenshots/mov-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d--%H-%M-%S.mp4")

> bindsym Shift+Control+F6 exec $screenrecord

> bindsym Ctrl+Shift+BackSpace exec killall -s SIGINT wf-recorder

Hitting shift-control-f6 will spawn slurp which lets you click and drag to set the area you want to record. This will then launch wf-recorder and record the selected area, saving to ~/screenshots/mov-${date}. You can use ctrl-shift-backspace to kill the recorder and end recording.

This seems to be related but I'm not quite sure: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/11442

I'm surprised I didn't see Jitsi Meet listed here. It's even FOSS. https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet

According to this issue comment no browser can capture the screen on Wayland: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/6389#issuecomment...

Jitsi Meet : https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet

Thanks for highlighting this, the jitsi team have been made aware and deployed a change: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/pull/11040

2. Jitsi Meet

If you're looking for just good open source web UI/UX, I would add these to the list: * https://github.com/grafana/grafana * https://github.com/vector-im/element-web * https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet

I'm not 100% sure it can work completely offline but worth a try: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet

I found Jitsi: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet but is a very big projects and not easy to understand.

I need some other alternative solutions, with much fewer codes, that has features like:

- webcam streaming
