@mulflone upstream still appears to have code that disables WebRTCPipeWireCapturer and slack-desktop does not have the patch that re-enables it.

I was able to get screen-sharing working with slack-desktop though, so maybe someone familiar with Wayland and Electron can comment whether WebRTCPipeWireCapturer is still relevant.

I did find however:

  1. a performance regression while using slack-desktop package after terminating hangouts calls; and
  2. version 4.46.101's handling of cameras to be temperamental, failing more often then not with either slack-desktop or slack-desktop-wayland

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer could be dropped or minimized to .desktop only at least for.

@mulflone give me a few days to confirm whether Wayland / Pipewire screen sharing & recording actually work with the other package.

@njalo that has come up sporadically before. There doesn't appear to be anything in the build script that causes or influences this, though do share if you have any ideas. The previous advice was to disable debug packages, or delete the offending build article between installs.

@cspek-aai https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/thread/O54R6YISPO3FU2MVATSBKUCPQB7JRV2U

could you please confirm? Can this package be deleted now (by merging the votes into slack-desktop)?

For those who, like me, had an issue with fractional scaling on Wayland with blurry text. Described with example here https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/41551#issuecomment-2525443012

This AUR[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slack-ozone] runs Slack differently.

4.44.65 + --gtk-version=3 stopped the coredumps for me and visual glitches.

GlitchGuru commented on 2025-05-30 14:11 (UTC)

Visual issue is solved with @tantegerda1 fix.

Adding the --gtk-version=3 flag to Exec solved the problem for me.

Upstream issue (probably): https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/46538

Similar solution of discord-electron-openasar (aur): https://github.com/archlinux/aur/commit/4b9aa6e75bd0cf2a646ffeb7fd41ed4a1cf95217
