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
