Hyprland Screenshare

Screen sharing support in Hyprland requires specific packages and configuration to work correctly with Wayland compositors.

Required Packages

Install the Hyprland-specific xdg-desktop-portal implementation:

pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland grim slurp

The grim and slurp packages are optional but recommended for region selection during screen sharing sessions.

Conflicting Portals

Ensure no other xdg-desktop-portal interface is installed alongside the Hyprland version. Packages like xdg-desktop-portal-gtk can conflict with waybar functionality and should be removed if present.

This configuration works alongside Nvidia GPU setup in hybrid graphics environments where Hyprland runs on the integrated GPU.
