  • obs-kmsgrab

    "Zero-copy" Linux screen capture plugin for OBS that uses libdrm and dmabuf

    Well, it can (Firefox is one example of dma-buf-based screencapturing in x11), but AFAIK obs still doesn't have such option out of the box (there is a plugin for that - https://github.com/w23/obs-kmsgrab, but I haven't tested it as there is not need for it on sway).
