OBS Studio Pipewire Beta - not working

I noticed that OBS Studio has Beta support for Pipewire ( to record the screen on wayland )

I have pipewire installed but the pop up window for pipewire is empty
not sure what the issue is yet

 

[oops]

Do you have a camera? Video Capture (PipeWire) (BETA) is for camera unlike Screen Capture (PipeWire). As camera support is more recent it's still in BETA. Besides, FreeBSD builds PipeWire with -Dlibcamera=disabled, so it's unlikely to work.

PipeWire camera handling is now happening!

We hit a major milestones this week with the long worked on adoption of PipeWire Camera support finally starting to land! Not long ago Firefox was released with experimental PipeWire camera support thanks to the great work by Jan Grulich. Then this week OBS Studio shipped with PipeWire camera...

right my bad, so pipewire is for the camera and not screen capture
i wondered why it listed a camera in the pop up window

i have a built in webcam but i havent enabled it
thats why its blank
