Currently we are not using pipewire as a sound server so its use is limited to screen recording and sharing.

=== Setup ===

 * Ensure a GNOME session, gnome-remote-desktop and pipewire-media-session are installed.
 * Log into the GNOME session

=== Testing screen recording ===

 * Hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R
-> a red circle icon should be displayed in the top panel indicating recording has started

 * Hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R again
-> the circle should be removed

The recording should be available in the standard xdg Video directory (~/Video in english)


=== Testing screen sharing ===

 * Go to settings -> Sharing
 * Enable sharing in the headbar if needed
 * Click on Screen Sharing to enable it, check that remote login is enabled

On another machine

 * Install a VNC client on another machine
 * Try to connect to your linux desktop

-> The desktop should prompt to allow access, one accepted the VNC client should be able to see the session

Since pipewire-media-session doesn't include a testsuite nor autopkgtests we will follow a manual testplan to verify updates.
