Bug ID: 514946
Summary: Google Meet freezes when sharing screen both on
Firefox and Chromium browsers
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: screencasting
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When sharing my screen during a Google Meet call, the screen cast freezes after
some time. To be clear, it's not my screen that freezes, but actually other
people in the call stop seeing updates on my screen, so it appears frozen to
them.
Also, it does not happen immediately. It works for some time (usually for a few
minutes) and then it freezes. And it affects multiple machines: it has happened
on 3 of my machines, but the time it takes to freeze varies a lot.
I get the same results in Firefox and Chromium-based browsers. I've been having
this problem for at least the last 6 months.
I've seen a related complaint on Reddit (one of the comments refer to freezes
in Google Meet):

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Join a Google Meet call
2. Share the screen
3. Wait long enough then the screen will freeze to participants in the call
OBSERVED RESULT
Other participants in the call are unable to see updates on my screen, it
appears frozen to them.
EXPECTED RESULT
No freezes
Please, let me know if there are other information that can help fix this
problem.
