Screen capture not showing in Sway

[Deleted member 401258]

Hi. I am on running Sway on Gentoo. I was trying to make OBS screen sharing work. As stated in this section of the guide I added the relevant USE flags (the screencast one and pipewire):

sicro@sicro ~ $ cat /etc/portage/make.conf
...
INPUT_DEVICES="libinput mouse keyboard synaptics"
USE="elogind -systemd swaybar wayland X xorg dbus wifi hwaccel jpeg git ssh threads persist postproc cups text bluetooth icu nss pulseaudio minizip -kde gui curl gnuplot opengl readline vulkan googledrive cairo egl pdf acpi alsa speex v4l lua screencast x264 npm gtk gtk3 -doc udev -networkmanager"
VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu radeonsi radeon"
...

sicro@sicro ~ $ cat /etc/portage/package.use/obs-studio
media-video/obs-studio pipewire

I also have the following line in the Sway config file:

sicro@sicro ~ $ cat .config/sway/config
...
exec gentoo-pipewire-launcher
exec --no-startup-id /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal -r
...

After re-emerging everything, OBS only shows the following sources:

• Audio Capture Device (ALSA)
• Audio Input Capture (PulseAudio)
• Audio Output Capture (PulseAudio)
• Color Source
• Image
• Image Slide Show
• Media Source
• Scene
• Video Capture Device (V4L2)
• Groups

I don't have the source for the screen or any other applications.
I verified, and wf-recorder DO records my screen without any issues.
How can I make OBS work with Wayland?

I am also running gentoo (and was having your problem) and just got it to work.
Make sure that sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal (with the screencast USE flag) and gui-libs/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr are installed, and that you are running sway with "dbus-run-session sway"
