Question / Help Start failed - could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "wayland-egl".

[band_aid]

I installed the Obs Studio at my Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS by PPA following the instructions at https://obsproject.com/download.
After installed, I tried running the application by terminal running the command:
obs-studio
The application doesn't run and I received the following message :

+ case "$SNAP_ARCH" in
+ ARCH=x86_64-linux-gnu
+ OBS=64bit
+ cd /snap/obs-studio/231/usr/bin/64bit
+ exec ./obs
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "wayland-egl".

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

How can I fix this? I already tried reinstalling the application, but it doesn't work.
My snap info is:

snap    2.36.3
snapd   2.36.3
series  16
ubuntu  18.04
kernel  4.15.0-43-generic

You're using wayland as your display compisitor in ubuntu?

Hi Harold. I don't know. How can I check it?

in Debian you can install the package bellow:

sudo apt install qtwayland5

If that alone doesn't solve the problem! Then install

sudo apt install libqt5waylandclient5

That's what I did and it worked for me.

In another distro, you may install `libqt5-qtwayland` package.
