That doesn't surprise me much.

Google removed the majority of its APIs from Chromium : 
[here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)#Differences_from_Google_Chrome) 
and

Maybe screen sharing was a Google thing. Especially screen sharing to 
Google Meet.

I think you have no other option than using Google Chrome for your 
meetings.
