How did you install OBS?

After installing ffmpeg, I added the repository with the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio, and then installed obs with the command sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install obs-studio

sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms

sudo apt install v4l-utils v4l2loopback-utils v4l2loopback-dkms
and reboot. have look

Hi, I've tried everything you mentioned, but it still doesn't show the screen source.
I've also tried starting with obs -platform wayland without success.

Hello, I fixed the issue just now on my arch machine and got Screen capture option back.

I had to install a package called `xdg-desktop-platform-wlr` as I was on sway ( a wlroots based compositor aka wayland ).
so if you are also on a wayland display server, go with this and also you MUST HAVE `xdg-desktop-platform` installed.

Also I installed the lib32 version of packages listed in above chats.

Hope this helps !!

Here's the screenshot of my working screen capture !!

How did you manage to install that desktop platform thing, ive been having this issue and im trying my best to fix it but I can't install that for some reason.

the package is called 'xdg-desktop-portal-wlr' not 'xdg-desktop-platform-wlr'

Hi, I have both `xdg-desktop-portal` and `xdg-desktop-portal-wlr` installed but still do not see this option. I'm on Linux MInt running the experimental Wayland setup.

(The default Cinnamon setup works just fine.)

Those are definitely required components. Just checking that you also have _pipewire_ installed, and what version (and configuration) of OBS are you using?
