Few days before I was just set up ubuntu 22.10 on my laptop. I installed skype and it's installed currently. everything is working fine. But when I call my client and need to share my screen. It's wasn't showing the screen share option on skype. I google it and long research found out what was the issue. Ubuntu Skype screen sharing is not working with the windowing system "Wayland". So i need to disable it and use x11. it works for me, so you can try it out as well.

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

Remove "#" from "WaylandEnable=false" line.

#WaylandEnable=false

WaylandEnable=false

Then save it.

reboot

Now you can skype call and check it. It will work :)
