Unable to dismiss "sharing your screen message , in google meet".

Omarchy 3.0.1

What's wrong?

This popup opens as a popup , but i am unable to dismiss or move it. It just rests in center of screen.. and if do ctrl+w on that screen share stops.

Today I couldn't even share my screen. I had to open files in the browser and share the tab ¯(ツ)/¯

For now, the simplest workaround I’ve found is using Firefox instead of Google Chrome or Chromium: everything works fine there. Later I’ll try to figure out how to fix the situation with Chromium and Google Chrome so they work as intended. Most likely the problem is with Wayland and PipeWire here seem to be some gaps in how it’s working.

Interesting... I restart my computer and everything worked in Chromium and Google Chrome too. Specs: IdeaPad 5 Pro 14ACN6, AMD Ryzen 7 5800U, OS: Omarchy v3.0.1

Same here, eventually it works after selecting my shared screen a few times.

Same issue. Unable to dismiss the popup

same issue here 👋

I had the same and could solve it by permanently allowing Allow a restore token. I documented it here in case others have the same: https://www.ssp.sh/brain/screen-sharing-on-wayland-hyprland-with-chrome/

@sspaeti thank you for sharing this

unfortunately it is not working on my end, but I found another workaround for now

doing alt + f11 (going full width) on the tile where the browser is pushes the "sharing you screen" message behind the browser

I had this same issue. While the Hide button behavior is controlled by Chromium, the positioning can be fixed with Hyprland window rules.

Add to ~/.local/share/omarchy/default/hypr/apps/browser.conf:

# Screen sharing indicator (Google Meet, etc)
windowrule = tag +screen-share-indicator, initialTitle:^.*is sharing your screen\.$
windowrule = noborder, tag:screen-share-indicator
windowrule = move 100%-w-20 100%-w-20, tag:screen-share-indicator

Then run hyprctl reload. This positions the indicator 20px from the right and bottom edges.

Thanks for sharing

This remains an inssue for me even after adding this --

Screen sharing indicator (Google Meet, etc)

windowrule = tag +screen-share-indicator, initialTitle:^.*is sharing your screen.$ windowrule = noborder, tag:screen-share-indicator windowrule = move 100%-w-20 100%-w-20, tag:screen-share-indicator

and even "preserving the token".

Anything else I should try?

Super + mouse right button allows to drag this window away. I still don't understand why 'hide' button/link does not work though.
