Snaps don’t work with Steam Remote Play Together

Steam Remote Play Together lets you stream a game or any program to one or more people and gives them the ability to use their controller or keyboard on your system to enable you to play local multiplayer games over the internet.

Steps to reproduce:

- Right click any game in Steam that has Remote Play Together enabled
- Properties
- Set Launch Options:
    /snap/bin/anysnapprogram # %command%

This lets you launch a Snap from Steam and start a Remote Play Together session, but the window doesn’t get streamed to the other people. Deb programs work fine with this method.

My guess is Steam doesn’t see that the Snap’s window is in focus as Steam says the remote session is paused. Which is what happens when you un-focus a game that does work.

I tried to run a snap installed with --devmode and that doesn’t work either
