Video Bridge

Allows screensharing of wayland windows/screens to x11 apps running over xwayland.

This is basically exactly like xwaylandvideobridge, but with worse functionality (for now) and a smaller file size.

This program simply uses the low level apis like dbus and xlib directly without using a high level toolkit like QT or GTK, because they're too gigantic for this simple functionality.

How to build

Dependencies

You need the following dependencies:

  • libdbus
  • libpipewire
  • libx11

Building & Installing

$ meson setup <builddir>
$ cd <builddir>
$ sudo ninja install

How to Use

Simply execute

$ video_bridge

and select the wayland window or screen you want to share. Now you can go to your x11 app and will be able to select your application/screen (currently named "Video Bridge").
