error message

When trying to screen share from a GNOME Wayland session, there is an error message saying it's only supported with a list of distros that doesn't include Gentoo but is pretty comprehensive, and to use x11 instead. It seems to me that if other distros like Arch are able to make it work, we should be able to as well.

Just edit the ~/.config/zoomus.conf and change enableWaylandShare=false to enableWaylandShare=true

Editing ~/.config/zoomus.conf as described above worked. Thanks!
