Issue w Zoom - "sharing screen"

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

Since we're discussing Zoom, one problem that I've had is sharing a screen 
while I'm presenting.

Situation: I've prepared a presentation/powerpoint. I open it in 
Libreoffice, I then click Slide Show -> Start from Current Slide

Continue then with Zoom. When it's my turn to share my powerpoint, it's 
hit or miss; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Since Libreoffice does it as a fork, it's never clear from the Zoom 
selection which selection is for the full screen, and which is for the 
regular libreoffice screen.

Anyone else have to deal with something like this?

Thanks,

Max

When last I tried, screensharing didn't work with Wayland in the
flatpak version.  If I logged in with X instead, screensharing worked
fine.

I use the version from Zoom itself (pain to keep track of upgrades, I know). I don't quite bother with flatpak.

Anyway, I have not yet had issues with screensharing, and neither have my other panelists. However, I have never done it for Libreoffice: I stay
away from PP-types as much as I can. But I can see why this can be a problem to pick the correct screen with multiple unclear options as
happens with the fork from libreoffce.

Sorry, not much help.
