Make it possible to screen record, screen share, screen cast

Since years, it has been a major pain to screen record, screen share, screen cast if a Linux distribution uses Wayland. For me, this is the #1 (closed) reason to avoid Linux distributions that come with Wayland by default, such as Fedora.

Please finally make it possible to screen record, screen share, screen cast. Ideally in a way that does not require changes in all the screen recording, screen sharing, screen casting applications out there.

I am not concerned with "security". I would be fine with some switch to "allow for screen grabbing regardless of security".
