Ubuntu Skype Screen Sharing Not Working - Solved

Few days before I was just set up ubuntu 22.10 on my laptop. I installed skype and it's installed currently. everything is working fine. But when I call my client and need to share my screen. It's wasn't showing the screen share option on skype. I google it and long research found out what was the issue. Ubuntu Skype screen sharing is not working with the windowing system "Wayland". So i need to disable it and use x11. it works for me, so you can try it out as well.

You can see solution below how to resolve this issue

Check Windowing System

You need to run bellow command:

<span class="pln">echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE</span>

Output:

<span class="pln">wayland</span>

Change Windowing System:

You need to open custom.conf file and remove "#" near WaylandEnable=false. let's run bellow command:

<span class="pln">sudo nano </span><span class="pun">/</span><span class="pln">etc</span><span class="pun">/</span><span class="pln">gdm3</span><span class="pun">/</span><span class="pln">custom</span><span class="pun">.</span><span class="pln">conf</span>

Remove "#" from "WaylandEnable=false" line.

<span class="com">#WaylandEnable=false</span>
<span class="pln">INTO</span>
<span class="typ">WaylandEnable</span><span class="pun">=</span><span class="kwd">false</span>

Then save it.

Reboot System:

Then you need to reboot system by using bellow command:

<span class="pln">reboot</span>

Now you can skype call and check it. It will work

I hope it can help you....
