+# Screen sharing
+
+"We use `xdg-desktop-portal` (+ backend implementation) for communication
+between the app requesting to share a screen and between desktop (Plasma or
+Gnome)." [1] (or in this case, sway). See also [2].
+
+**System info**
+
+```
+=== Kernel ===
+6.18.18-1-lts
+=== Sway ===
+sway version 1.9
+=== xdg-desktop-portal (installed packages) ===
+xdg-desktop-portal 1.20.3-2
+xdg-desktop-portal-wlr 0.8.1-1
+xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.15.3-1
+```
+
+**Logs**
+
+```
+Mar 15 09:22:00 andreas-laptop systemd[1178]: xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
+Mar 15 09:22:00 andreas-laptop systemd[1178]: xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
+Mar 15 09:22:00 andreas-laptop systemd[1178]: Failed to start Portal service (GTK/GNOME implementation).
+Mar 15 09:22:00 andreas-laptop /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal[1347]: Failed to ReadAll() from Settings implementation: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not activ>
+```
+
+**Solution**
+
+We first have to tell `xdg-desktop-portal` that it should use the wlr backend
+to route screen capture requests. In `~/.config/environment.d/sway.conf` add
+```
+XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway
+```
+
+We also have to set up the link between the wayland compositor and
+`xdg-desktop-portal`. In `~/.config/sway/config`, add
+```
+exec systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY SWAYSOCK XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
+exec dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY SWAYSOCK XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
+```
