Description junk 2015-12-01 18:54:35 UTC 
Not really surprising given Waylands architecture and more Skype's problem than Gnome's but it's going to surprise people if Fedora chooses to go with Wayland by default.
Comment 1 junk 2015-12-01 18:55:39 UTC 
Oh, and is there an alternative?
Comment 2 Kamil Páral 2015-12-02 12:17:45 UTC 
I would be interested to know whether there's going to be some permission model where I can approve certain applications to access restricted resources (like screenshotting/screencasting).
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2015-12-02 14:37:09 UTC 
It's unlikely that a screenshot-ing protocol is going to be added to Wayland.

There is currently a D-Bus API to screenshot (to a file) for GNOME Shell, and prototype patches to export the screen contents to a video stream via Pinos; control over these APIs would be handled in a sandboxing framework.
Comment 4 Arun Raghavan 2016-10-28 17:22:34 UTC 
This also breaks screen sharing in hangouts and webrtc calls, so a definite regression over X11
Comment 5 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:43:33 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
