The ext-image-capture-source-v1 and ext-image-copy-capture-v1 screen copy protocols build upon wlroots' wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1 with various improvements for better screen capture support under Wayland. These new protocols should allow for better performance and window capturing support for use-cases around RDP/VNC remote desktop, screen sharing, and more.

Merge Request: Create ext-image-capture-source-v1 and ext-image-copy-capture-v1

I'm a software engineer working remotely, and this has been my final blocker with moving to Wayland. Most team chat and collaboration apps finally support full screen sharing on Wayland, but the existing implementation is buggy and unreliable.

Wayland might be the future, it still seems to have a lot of work necessary to completely replace X11. Screen capture sure doesn't have a good UX with like 3 popups to confirm that I want to share something.

Does anyone know of this gets us closer to having a working software KVM solution with Wayland?

I've tried Synergy, Input Leap, and Waynergy, but nothing seems to work, unfortunately.
