# Qt Multimedia on Linux using the Wayland compositor

This page covers the availability of Qt Multimedia features on Linux with Wayland compositor.

## Limitations

The screen capture feature requires the installation of:

- The ScreenCast service supported via XDG Desktop Portal.
- {https://pipewire.org/}{PipeWire} (0.3).

Due to restrictions of the Wayland protocol, the current screen can only be selected through the wizard displayed by the operation system when `QScreenCapture` instance is activated. For additional details, refer to the QScreenCapture class documentation.
