+# TeamSpeak 6 Beta Screen Share Stuck on Connecting
+
+## Environment
+- OS: Nobara (Fedora 43), kernel 6.18.9
+- Display: Wayland
+- GPU: NVIDIA
+- TS version: 6.0.0-beta3.4
+- Installs tested: flatpak AND native tar.gz at /opt/teamspeak6/
+
+## Problem
+Screen share hangs at "connecting" indefinitely. Voice calls work fine (use TS proprietary protocol). Screen share uses WebRTC which silently fails.
+
+## Root Cause
+`chrome_debug.log` shows: `vaInitialize failed: unknown libva error`
+
+VA-API is broken on NVIDIA (expects NVDEC, not VA-API). WebRTC's hardware acceleration path fails silently — the remote peer sends SDP offers and ICE candidates but the local client never generates an answer.
+
+## Key Finding
+- Tested both flatpak and native installs — same behavior confirms it is NOT a flatpak sandbox issue
+- This is a known TS6 beta bug per community forums
+
+## Suggested Fix (NOT yet verified)
+Disable hardware acceleration in Settings > Appearance, then restart TeamSpeak.
+
+## Debugging Dead Ends
+- Added flatpak overrides (portal talk permission, NetworkManager system bus) — harmless but not the root cause
+- Flatpak sandbox was NOT the issue
