Description

Hi, I use Arch Linux with KDE plasma, and the AUR version of goofcord. when I try to screenshare, it either freezes, shows a black screen, sometimes works, but other users say its stuck on loading or a black screen. meanwhile, the audio does work fine.
I have no idea this happens.

Steps to Reproduce

1. open goofcord
2. join any VC
3. screenshare
4. the screen goes black/freezes on the preview, or works on my end, but others say it's stuck on loading/fails again into a black screen

Expected Behavior

screenshare works fine and other users can see what I'm streaming/screensharing

Actual Behavior

screen goes black/freezes on the preview, and other users can't see what I'm streaming

In GoofCord settings, try enabling "Disable GPU compositing" in the "Other" category.
You could also try turning "VA-API" off.

"VA-API" was enabled, and "disable GPU compositing" was disabled. I'll try the settings mentioned and report back.
