I do wonder if sharing the application window, and/or sharing the whole desktop area, works from in-browser video conference applications, such as Big Blue Button or Discord, or you are limited to sharing browser tabs only.

It does, using either XWaylandVideoBridge https://www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-XWaylandVideoBridge or Xdg-desktop-portal and pipewire for Wayland native.

Yes, I do this every day via pipewire. Google meet, teams, zoom all work just fine from the browser, sharing the whole screen (or browser tab, or window, depending on what you choose).
And if it ever fails, you can always revert to OBS live streaming your desktop to a virtual loopback camera, and pick that up from your browser.
