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

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.

    Some of my customers insist on Teams meetings and they have been problematic.  I have the same flicker issue when sharing Excel.  Thanks to those who suggested work arounds!  But, "don't use that feature" is not a true solution.  Microsoft needs to fix this or everyone will continue to run to other solutions.

    Hi,

    I had also several times this problem that parts of my display starts to flicker. The solution to share my whole screen is nice but most of my customers are not able to view a 3840x1080 display and can read the text. Sorry shareing a window or specific regions of my display is a must have.

    Kind regards

    Marco

    Marco,

    I agree absolutely, that's exactly the same I tried to say (in my poor english...)

    The flickering stopped a few days ago while sharing the whole screen. Had to completely uninstall Teams, delete the cache,... and after a fresh setup I did not have the flickering in full screen sharing anymore.

    But as written below, sharing a 3440 pixel widescreen monitor is not a working solution. ;(
