I am trying to record some footage of my gameplay with obs studio running on Ubuntu 22.04. The problem is, unless I do fullscreen, the recording device does not pick up the selected window. The cause for this is that I am using a wayland window system, which does not seem to give permission for things to record it? Now this question has been asked before in a similar form Is there a screen recorder for GNOME with Wayland? but no working resolution that will fit my case has been found. I am wondering, is there a adapter somewhere that will work for 22.04? Or a way to allow this to work?

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=waylandin your terminal before runningobs, and it should allow you to select Pipewire (record one window) as a source. from this it's foss article – Esther Jul 28 '22 at 19:39
