How to enable the screen/window sharing (screen casting) on Rocky Linux 9 (GNOME)

By default (fresh installation of the distribution and the apps) the desktop applications available on Rocky Linux 9 (GNOME desktop) cannot share the entire screen, a window, or a browser tab.

That problem appears due to a combination of a missing package (xdg-desktop-portal-gnome), which might not be installed by default, and systemd services (xdg-desktop-portal and/or pipewire), which are either missing or not enabled.

To solve the issue you need to install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

sudo dnf -y install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

and enable/start/restart the required services (as user):

systemctl --user enable --now pipewire
systemctl --user restart xdg-desktop-portal.service
