I have found this little python script which also suffers from the same
issue.
When run as
GST_DEBUG=3 python gnome-screen-cast.py
I get the following output:
session path: /org/gnome/Mutter/ScreenCast/Session/u16
stream path: /org/gnome/Mutter/ScreenCast/Stream/u16

Title:
Screencast not recording
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When I press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R, screencast indicator appears in the
indicator menu but disappears in about 2 seconds. No file is even
created under the Videos folder.
journalctl shows:

Mar 02 09:10:32 Development gjs[5825]: JS LOG: Failed to create pipeline:
Gst.ParseError: no element "pipewiresrc"
The issue is the Gst.ParseError.
Before upgrading to jammy (22.04), it used to work fine. Also, when
testing under qemu/KVM it works properly. It just doesn't work when
running directly on the PC.
What other logs can I provide?
