Screensharing under Wayland

Set up a new system with archinstall, and it defaulted to running Wayland, which is nice. However, screensharing in Jitsi and Zoom did not work. After a little research I found:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#WebRTC_screen_sharing

The solution was:

pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-kde xdg-desktop-portal

Then screensharing in both Jitsi (WebRTC) and Zoom now work.

Here is a nice testing site for WebRTC:
