No response
Expected behaviour
Hi, I have some bugs with video capturing.
I use niri (wayland) compositor. When I'm trying to start video record in 1 second it breaks with xdg-desktop-portal errors suggest namespace incompatibility. Telegram works with official binary. Can you rebuild Telegram with native camera support, or provide XWayland fallback compatibility?
Thank you in advance
Actual behaviour
Telegram native camera support doesn't work
Steps to reproduce
- Install telegram-desktop with wayland compositor.
- Start telegram-desktop.
- Try to start video call or video message record.
- Video recording should be broken

Research direction
Start by reproducing video recording with telegram-desktop-5.12.3_1 under the niri Wayland compositor and capture the xdg-desktop-portal errors. Compare the Void package behavior with the official binary, then determine whether the package configuration can support native camera access or an XWayland fallback. Done means video calls or video messages record successfully.
