Please fill out the following:

  • Scroll Version:

    • scroll version 1.13-dev-6555ab3d (Jan 30 2026, branch 'master')
  • Description:

    • when I choose to share a single window using PipeWire in apps like OBS, it just takes a screenshot and passes it to the application, so the app sees a static image
    • sharing an entire output works normally
    • it might be a wlroots/pipewire issue tho
