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.

    The problem is that I want to share the whole desktop and not just a window. Sharing the whole desktop is when my screen flickers for my viewers (not for me) when I move my mouse but when I display only a window then I don't have that issue.

    Same problem here with Teams 1.4.00.4855 on Linux Debian (with KDE Plasma desktop)

    The problem seems to disapear when i manually disable openGL compositing in Plasma Desktop before running Teams but then my GUI loses half of its functionality and the performance becomes terribly slow

    I have read the suggestion to selectthe desktop
    So i have to share my complete 3440*1440 desktop. Or my 2 Hd Screens? 
    Only to share a window of 800*600 flicker free?

    Are they insane?
