This used to be an issue, but has been resolved in most major applications. Are you on an "app" version of slack? Try updating it, or try using an up to date webbrowser like Firefox, or anything based on Chromium if you prefer.
My app version is up to date. Tried it a few months ago. Still black screen whenever I try to share the entire screen. Individual windows work fine. None of my coworkers have managed to make it work in Wayland.
It worked a few years ago with some workaround, but Slack patched out that workaround.
And it's specific to slack? Or do you have the same issue when sharing the screen on anything else?
