Media-Bits runs on Linux today. It is free to use. Windows and macOS builds are on the way; until then the desk also runs in a browser, without the projector window, recording or streaming.

Sharing your screen works on an X11 session (on the login screen, pick “Ubuntu on Xorg”). On Wayland, the screen is not offered yet; cameras, videos and slides work either way.
