How to fix screen sharing not working in messengers (discord, telegramm, zoom) on ubuntu 21.04?

screen sharing does not work in instant messengers (discord, telegramm, zoom, etc.)
- in discord, a black screen when trying to demonstrate
- in telegram, when you click on the demo button, the chat closes the connection
- in zoom or as in telegram, everything closes if you select all the screen, and if part of it just hangs (the computer is completely) - there
is no demo button in skype

Ubuntu 21.04
Wayland window interface

The problem is in Wayland, more precisely with discord, telegram, and zoom. Most likely, they are based on the old X11, and the screen sharing is implemented through x features. In Wayland, the applications themselves work through xwayland and cannot touch other applications.
Actually, the choice is small - either update applications and make them work natively with wayland, or start the system with X11 (at the entrance, click on the gear and select "Ubuntu on X11"
