Hubstaff screenshot capture support for Wayland – Linux

Hubstaff has screenshot capture support for Linux for client apps running 1.6.10 or higher and GNOME 41 and below. If you’re running an older version of the app, we highly recommend you update to the latest version.

Troubleshooting screen capture issues

  1. Hubstaff supports GNOME versions 41 and below. If you’re using GNOME version 42 you’ll need to install the gnome-screenshotspackage. Click here to learn how.
  2. Switching back to Xorg instead of Wayland. You can switch to Xorg from Wayland easily: Here’s a link that will show you how to do it:  https://itsfoss.com/switch-xorg-wayland/
