Xwayland Video Bridge created to improve Linux screen sharing

The problem is that currently in the likes of Discord, MS Teams, Slack, Zoom and others that you run through Xwayland, you may end up with a black screen and no windows listed — this should solve it.
I don't understand which case this will help that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr doesn't handle.
If you read the details you'll see their app is a convenient GUI for a non-expert user to be able to leverage what already exists (xdg-portals, pipewire, etc) through a system tray minimalist app

how do you leverage xdg-desktop-portal-wlr at the moment?
The way I understand it, it's a sort of proxy for screen sharing. It exposes whatever you want on any graphic server, which can then be acquired by most apps.

I guess I'll have to try to understand better, but teams pwa in wayland+gnome is already great (https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/issues/107 [External Link] aside), I suppose it's only relevant for older configurations.

The upcoming Team Fortress 2 update may not be as big as expected

As predicted, it's a simple community update. It's no surprise, it's not like anyone has been working on the game for the past 10 years. Of course, still no mention of anti botting and anti cheating update.

Valve promise a proper big Team Fortress 2 update is coming

No mention of anti cheat and bot. Update padding with community content.

I'm not getting my hopes up.

Quoting: fagnerlnErrrr... Is that secure? The game already has cheating issues, what can go wrong when someone execute an OS on it?
And rampant bot issue.
