XWayland 22.1 Planned For Release Next Month
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.

Think Twice Before Abandoning Xorg – Wayland Breaks Everything
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!

ffscreencast – a screencast CLI-tool with video overlay and multimonitor support
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.
