Yeah, I think it isn't baked yet. -

@a1ba I disagree, the portal solution sucks. Most applications I used generated two pop-ups one of which was completely unnecessary. First the "portal" window for selecting which window/monitor the app should have access to in the first place. And then second window to select the window/monitor in the app as it was given access.
No "remember this setting", no "allow all for this app", no "disable sandbox and allow all indefinitely" setting. I grew very tired of dealing with unnecessary popups after a while in vc when constantly switching windows. My computer should not act like a phone.
>... if you have pipewire installed
I don't really mind it as I replaced pulseaudio years ago with it, but depending on a single piece of software for your whole desktop to work properly is never a good idea.
EDIT:
>No "remember this setting"
To be fair, KDE has such option. It just didn't work for months when I used it not even a year ago. -

It was just my experience with screen sharing. I don't remember why I had Pipewire uninstalled and was confused why screen sharing doesn't work, and it turns out that it's the Pipewire that does the heavy lifting here.
