Screen Flickering when Sharing screen in Microsoft Teams

Anonymous

Hi guys

Ive googled this and seem to get not the "right" answer.

My work has started using screens for remote access and its terrific. But everytime i share my screen, it has serious constant flicker which not only i see but so does the person on the other end.

Whats the cause

Regards

Adam

OK.. I think I may have found the solution. When sharing your screen many tiles show up for you to share. Some of these tiles are under 2 categories DESKTOP and WINDOW. Make your selection for the screen you want to share under DESKTOP NOT WINDOW. This selection made my screen not flicker anymore.

Hi,

I had the same issue and it was due to a custom Windows theme I'd set up (my custom color for border or windows....etc). Once I reverted to the standard theme, the issue got resolved.

same here today with a pdf presentation with pdf files.

we made PDF files open with edge browser or adobe reader instead of DC.

luck works without any issue.

same here today with a pdf presentation with cad drawings and text - may have something to do with lots of vectors?

No idea how that would affect screen sharing! but a big problem - none of the solutions help when you are in a large meeting and it raises its head live.

If you update to Windows version 2004 OS Build 19041.508 the problem goes away
