    That has nothing to do with Slack’s screen sharing issues. Screen sharing was broken due to Electron bugs and it’s fixed in Slack 4.34.

      I’d argue lazy choice of wrapping your website inside chrome instead of building a native app is Slack’s issue.

      I also wonder whether Slack fixed it or just waited for Google to fix it since Slack seems to only have UI designers and no actual devs on their team. They keep pumping out useless UI changes while actual bugs take years to fix.

        Many Electron maintainers are Slack employees. They’re contributing upstream more than most other companies that use Electron, especially compared to their size.

          Could you name a couple? Genuinely interested to check out their contributions.

          Also, I just updated to 4.34.119 and screen sharing is still completely broken. As is typical with Slack.
