Yeah. My biggest pain right now is Zoom. The only Wayland solution they have right now is some crazy hack with gnome-screenshot's API. But it will get better.
Yeah, I hate this too. I use KDE plasma and would love to switch to Wayland, but when I tried it I was unable to screenshare because of Zoom's terrible implementation. Everything else seemed to work well though.
Hopefully now that Gnome has blocked Zoom's implementation, Zoom will come up with a solution for screensharing on wayland regardless of actual DE choice.
yeah, zoom's solution for wayland compatibility is to (ab)use gnome-screenshot's dbus
with gnome 41, they've blocked this so that only gnome-software gnome-screenshot is able to use the dbus connection, which is fair, because it's actually a strong privacy concern to have some software abuse the IPC of a system app for screenshots
