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
Managing sound and video settings during Teams meetings and calls for optimal communication

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.
Hmm... all your users have to rights to elevate as Administrator?
Not a valid solution in my eyes. ;)
Hey!
The company that i am working for is also experiencing this issue, we use a lot off cad, pdfs and BIM files.
While only sharing the desktop seems to be an ok solution for most cases, however we often need to share only certain windows (as many people on this thread has commented).
What i have found to be a solution is to run the program that you are going to share with administrator privileges**(Run as administrator)**, this solved the flickering for us.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Fredrik.
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.
Try do disable Hardware Acceleration under Options - Advanced in Excel.
I think this problem is related to the hardware acceleration not being well managed by Teams. In our Company I disable that (disabling in all Office application) in every PC I configure for some problems we had time some time ago.
We had this problem with Teams when sharing an AutoCAD window, but not for other application (or at least not yet).
So I think that hardware accelerated application are not well managed by Teams when shared.
Also I think that the Desktop isn't "hardware accelerated" or managed in a different way, so the problem isn't showing when sharing the whole desktop.
Here's a second user voice to vote for. It seems to be the same / similar issue. Probably the same cause, but I'm just guessing.
