I got it:

Install pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack wireplumber xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

At the top of ~/.config/sway/config add

exec dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY I3SOCK SWAYSOCK WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway
exec pipewire &
exec pipewire-pulse &
exec wireplumber &

Start sway with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway dbus-launch sway

After this, screen sharing in BigBlueButton and Jitsi Meet in Firefox is working in sway

Did anyone manage to make screensharing work in Devuan with sway / Wayland?
I'm running Devuan Daedalus with the runit init system and sway compositor.
When I try to start screensharing in Firefox / BigBlueBotton I can select the output from I wish to share the screen but then nothing happens. xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is running, so is pipewire. I'm starting sway with dbus-run-session and have

dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY I3SOCK SWAYSOCK WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway

set at the top of my sway config file, according to the troubleshooting check list of xdg-desktop-portal-wlr.

It's working out of the box on a Debian Bookworm machine, so I guess there is some systemd - dbus "magic" which is missing in Devuan.
