Share screen in skype linux

Where is skype share screen?

I share my screen every Sunday when my family and I have a Skype video call. When Ubuntu asked if I wanted to upgrade from 20 to 22, I hit OK and away we went. Except on Sunday, there was no screen sharing available on Skype. I wonder if it has to do with the changes they made to ‘print screen’ — when you used to hit the print screen key it would take a snapshot of the screen, but now it doesn’t.
Anyway, I asked on Skype and the reply I got was they asked if I had recently upgraded Ubuntu. So I thought I’d ask here. Thanks

Try using Xorg instead of Wayland. To do this log out and click your name to log back in. Before entering password, click on the gear icon and select the Xorg option.

I did that, great new information. I wish Skype had a way to test that out before you were on a call. That is, unless you are on a call the video screen isn’t there so I can’t see if I have a screen sharing option or not.

I will have to wait till tomorrow when I make my call to the family. I just wondered why the xorg changes the colors in firefox. usually the menubar and other things like that that surround the window, usually they are white, but now they are a pistachio green and firefox doesn’t have a setting to change that that i can find.

No, I use the stand alone slype. I just noticed that in firefox and everything else, the windows are bound with that green color. i didn’t see a way to change the settings in Ubuntu. Is there a way to change that? Someone had to tell Ubuntu to make the windows look like that.

Skype and screen sharing

Last time I decided to use Ubuntu 17.10. When I installed Skype from official site of Skype (I downloaded the .deb package) I can do almost everything without one important feature for me. I can’t share my screen while I am talking with somebody. On Windows that was working perfectly, on Ubuntu I don’t even see such a option. My friend has the same version of Ubuntu, GNOME and Skype. He can use that feature. I can’t and I can’t figure out why.

If you use Wayland (Ubuntu 17.10) and latest version (v8.11.0.4) of skypeforlinux screen sharing is not working.

In order to have screen sharing working you can switch to Xorg as explained here.

Otherwise you can use Google Hangout, where you can even share windows.

This is because ubuntu 17.10 switched from Xorg display server to wayland.(Why wayland). But many applications are yet to port to wayland. many of the existing applications do not work properly with wayland. Skype is also such a case.

To switch from wayland to Xorg (X11). Do the following

• Log out from the current session
• then select Ubuntu on Xorg from the login screen
• Make sure you have an X11 Session by executing the following command in terminal. echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

now your Skype screen sharing will work
