If you still have questions or suggestions, please let me know in the comment section.To get to the Output settings, launch OBS and go to File and then Settings. If you notice some applications stopped working after this change, revert it please. Note: I noticed that MEGA cloud service stopped working after this change. Now OBS will automatically start using this parameter and you can use it to record your screen in Wayland.
What you can do is to export the variable to your ~/.bash_profile (for you) or /etc/profile (for all users on the system). But setting the environment variable and starting OBS from the terminal each time is not convenient. You just verified that you can record your screen on Wayland. If you see that, you could start recording the screen in Wayland now. Now it should show your screen recursively infinite number of times. Select PipeWire as the source and then it asks you to choose a display screen. You explicitly asked OBS Studio to use Wayland this time with the QT_QPA_PLATFORM variable. Your focus should be on the OBS Studio GUI. It will show some message on the terminal. In the same terminal, run the following command to start OBS Studio: obs Open a terminal and use the following command: export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland OBS Studio does not switch to use Wayland automatically in Ubuntu at least. Add screen capture source in OBS Studioĭo you see anything that reads Screen Capture (PipeWire)? Do you see PipeWire option in the screen sources? Click on the + symbol under the Sources list. The main step is to add Pipewire as a screen capture source. Now start OBS Studio and go through all the stuff it shows on the first run. Please make sure that you are using Wayland. Step 2: Check if Wayland capture is working If there is an older version of OBS Studio installed already, it will be upgraded to the newer version.įor Fedora, Arch and other distributions, please check your package manager or unofficial repositories for installing the latest version of OBS Studio. Open a terminal and use the following commands one by one: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio To install OBS Studio 27 on Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, Linux Mint 20 etc, use the official OBS Studio PPA.
It is already included in Ubuntu 21.10 which I am using in this tutorial. You should install OBS Studio version 27 first.
