Element Desktop screensharing does not work. #15040

Description

Description

When attempting to screen share on the Element Desktop app, it fails with two varying errors seemingly picked at random.

Steps to reproduce

  • Shift-click with your left click on the camera icon in a DM/room to attempt to start a screen sharing call on the desktop app.

When attempting to start a screen sharing call, I would expect to start a screen sharing call as the web version works fine.

  • Logs being sent: No

  • (The Second one is a lot less common and most often happens after ending a normal voice call and then trying to start a screen sharing call.)

Version information

  • Platform: Desktop
  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Version: Arch does not have any specific "versions" as it's a rolling release. The best I can do is provide the date at which I installed it: August 15th, 2020.
