Hangouts and TeamViewer are closed apps, with no direct support from Fedora AFAIK, but it is interesting to note that Firefox has the same problem.

Just go to https://appear.in/, log into a room, and choose to share your screen. Under X, no problem; under Wayland, you only share a black block.

The same happens if you go to https://meet.jit.si/, log into a room, and choose to share a window.

Those are new screen sharing methods that use plain HTML5 + WebRTC. The underlying problem might be the same, but these are open source & standards-based solutions that prove a Wayland problem here. Probably better to debug & so on.
