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:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
Output:
wayland
Change Windowing System:
You need to open custom.conf file and remove "#" near WaylandEnable=false. let's run bellow command:
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
Remove "#" from "WaylandEnable=false" line.
#WaylandEnable=false INTO WaylandEnable=false
Then save it.
Reboot System:
Then you need to reboot system by using bellow command:
reboot
Now you can skype call and check it. It will work
I hope it can help you....
