Description
### What Happened?
Trying to use the Wayland session in elementaryOS 8, you will not be able to start screen sharing either by selecting your display nor xdg-desktop-portal-pantheon in the picker. Sharing a single application is also impossible.
In programs like OBS or Discord it will simply return nothing, as if no output was chosen at all.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Invoke the Pipewire Screen Capture Portal (e.g OBS, Discord, Firefox...)
2. Select any option.
3. Hit "share"
4. See bug
### Expected Behavior
Using any of the screen sharing options should allow the program in question to get a copy of your display or application output depending on your selection.
### OS Version
8.x (Early Access)
### Session Type
Secure Session (Wayland)
### Software Version
Latest release (I have run all updates)
### Log Output
_No response_
### Hardware Info
relevant nvidia-smi output because I am running an Nvidia GPU with the proprietary drivers:
