Our company is switching to bluejeans. I'm optimistic because they actually appear to support linux. I made the switch from OSX to linux laptop last spring. I can do almost everything I did before... except share screens easily.

Well yes, I did mention that screencasting altogether is pretty crippled with Wayland.
Not to mention that you won't be able to share if you're using a tablet.
Obviously it's not for everyone but I've made it work for my situation.

Screencasting should (with capital S) work on Wayland, but Wayland is much stricter about which processes are allowed to grab the framebuffer. At least for Sway (which is the Wayland compositor that I'm using) framebuffer access needs to be granted explicitly in the config, and only swaygrab (their own screenshot utility) is permitted by default.

So far it's been a matter of applications not supporting wayland yet.
By applications I can only remember trying Google screencasting, through hangouts to youtube for example.
But I think I tried one more that I lost the name to.
"Can you please share your screen?"
