Hello,
I've been trying out `feature-pipewire' for the last couple of days. I
enabled it in my config and uninstalled `pulseaudio' at the same time. I
noticed that in terms of audio, everything was working like it did
before. Using `pavucontrol' I can see all my devices including BT
headsets, they work just like they did before.. therefore I assume that
pipewire is working properly, at least in terms of audio playback.
I've also watched your video about pipewire and if I didn't miss
anything, than there is nothing else to do other than enabling
`feature-pipewire'?
However, when trying the screen sharing demo at
https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html, I only see black
screens instead of my desktops, see here:

Another thing I notices is that when I log into sway I see a couple of
warnings regarding dbus in the tty before sway starts (after enabling
`feature-pipewire' that is): https://i.imgur.com/FS1i7y5.jpeg

Off-topic: How do you insert the code markers like

?

In chromium it's necessary to enable #enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer
flag, I've not done it because there is no home service for chromium
yet, probably it can be enabled for ungoogled-chromium/wayland package
in the wrapper script. Maybe it can be passed as a command line
argument:

LGTM.

Mark a region, do C-c M-m

Yes, you are correct. The flag was missing. I tested it manually by
enabling it in the settings. I'll think about how to implement this
permanently.
Thank you.

Have you noticed any playback issues on sites like YT using PipeWire?
Ever since I enabled the feature, I sometimes can't play any videos. It
would load indefinitely, eventually the video frame would say something
like I should restart my device.
I need to completely kill chrome to make it work again. I'll try to
capture a screenshot next time. But this happens quite often.

It happened to me a few times, but IIRC it was happenning with
pulseaudio as well. The issue happens quite seldom, so I didn't pay
attention.
BTW, sometimes I watch videos from the web using mpv, it uses youtube-dl
under the hood, which supports a lot of web sites, not only YT. Native
app provides a better and more consistent experience than web players
all around the web.
