Bug Description

I'm running an up to date Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS using X.

A friend of mine is having the same hardware and it's fully functional.
Just few extensions but even I I disable everything still no orange icon and no integration, got no info.

It's working perfectly, just a tiny bug.

Anything I can provide to help? ... if you can provide commands I can do it.

This orange screencast icon is only shown in Wayland sessions. In x11, any application can listen to input for any application (including passwords) and peek at their rendered content, so it is pointless to show that icon in x11 sessions too, since with no icon shown, applications can still spy on others there.

In any case, it is not g-r-d, that shows that icon, but gnome-shell, when either a remote desktop session or screencast session was created.

Changed in gnome-remote-desktop (Ubuntu):
