This comes straight out of ChatGPT, but it worked for me:

To adjust preferences for screen sharing in the Gather.town snap on Linux, you can try the following steps:

  1. Open Snap Connections: Open a terminal on your Linux system.

  2. List Snap Interfaces: Enter the following command to list the available snap interfaces and their current connections:

    snap connections
    
  3. Check Current Connections: Look for the Gather.town snap entry in the list of interfaces and connections. Verify if the desktop interface is connected to the Gather.town snap.

  4. Connect the desktop Interface: If the desktop interface is not connected, you can connect it using the following command:

    sudo snap connect gather-town:desktop
    
  5. Check Screen Sharing Permissions: Verify if the Gather.town snap has the necessary permissions for screen sharing. Run the following command to check the current permissions:

    snap interface desktop
    
  6. Adjust Screen Sharing Permissions: If the Gather.town snap doesn't have the required permissions for screen sharing, you can adjust them by running the following command:

    sudo snap connect gather-town:desktop :desktop
    
  7. Restart Gather.town: After adjusting the permissions, restart the Gather.town snap for the changes to take effect.

With these steps, you should be able to adjust the preferences for the Gather.town snap on Linux to allow screen sharing. Please note that the specific steps may vary slightly depending on your Linux distribution and the version of the Gather.town snap you are using.

To me adding the browser-support permission did the trick :
snap connect gathertown:browser-support
