Blank screen when screensharing with Zoom via desktop app or browser

Software PureOS
1

Hi, I have a Librem 13, and am running PureOS 9.

If I try to share my laptop screen via Zoom I get a blank screen. This happens whether I’m using the Zoom desktop app or am using Zoom via a browser.

I tried changing /etc/os-release as described in this forum post, but it doesn’t have any effect.

Because they do not work with wayland.

Switch your session to Xorg. You should see that at the login screen, there is some gear icon that you can click on to switch to xorg.
