The intention of this package is to provide a workaround for users of sway or hyprland (maybe also other wlroots based wms) facing the issue described here: https://invent.kde.org/davidedmundson/xwaylandvideobridge/-/issues/2

Note that at the time of writing this comment, neither sway nor hyprland correctly handle the window flags to hide the main window, so you will have to manually set some window rules. My recommended settings for Hyprland:

windowrulev2 = opacity 0.0 override 0.0 override,class:^(xwaylandvideobridge)$
windowrulev2 = nofocus,class:^(xwaylandvideobridge)$
windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus,class:^(xwaylandvideobridge)$

This hides the window as soon as it opens and makes it unfocusable so it get in your way. If you have animations enabled you might also consider adding a noamin rule if you find the brief popup annoying.

It seems like kwidetsaddons is missing in the dependencies list. After I installed it the package installed without problems.
