> 2. Is this really a problem with Zoom or one with Wayland and the Linux distros? I mean Fedora switched to Wayland in 2016 and the screensharing API was added only in 2018. A rushed deployment?

I use OBS on Fedora 35 and overall it's been really nice. I use the Flatpak version of OBS and it uses Pipewire. When I want to screen record an OS-level dialog box pops up asking me which screen/window I want to share and the entire time I am recording/sharing I have an indicator icon that is orange (whereas all other icons are white)

I share my desktop screen in Google Meet using pipewire as well, and just like you say, I get a choice which screen or window I want to share and that's it.

Wayland is very stable these days.
