Additional information

Here is a similar issue that was closed for a different linux version: #7494

After looking around, the Input Capture Desktop Portal might be something that needs to be implemented into Hyprland? hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland#268 Have we seen any users who have had success using Deskflow with Hyprland?

Please see this discussion #7499 I have created issues for all the portals you can see any response and or track other wayland related issues here in this discussion

[EthanDarling8]

Closed this issue as it is already discussed in #7499
