Steam Broadcast Does Not Work Under Wayland As Steam Never Asks Pipewire For Permission #12905

Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): latest available
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: not needed.
  • GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When recording a program in wayland, the program responsible for broadcasting must ask for permission from pipewire to access the screen. Steam very clearly does NOT do this as it does not trip the xdg-desktop-portal interface.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Try Broadcasting Whole Screen
  2. Broadcast is black
