PipeShare

Seamless application audio routing for Linux screen sharing.

PipeShare solves a common problem on Linux Wayland: sharing application audio during screen sharing sessions. Wait for PipeShare to automatically route your application audio alongside your microphone when you start a screen share.

Features

• Event-driven detection (zero polling) of screen sharing sessions.
• Prompts you to select which applications to share audio from.
• Creates a virtual microphone that mixes real mic and selected app audio.
• Automatically cleans up routing when screen sharing stops.

Prerequisites

• Linux with Wayland
• PipeWire (pipewire-pulse and wireplumber)
• pw-dump, pactl
• kdialog or zenity
• xdg-desktop-portal
