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.

    Same problem here, noticed it last week and again today (April 20, 2020) also in Revit when sharing. Un workable and if you were prone to be affected by flickering lights, dangerous.

    I have the same problem.  Just started this week.  I have not had the problem before.  Have only attempted to share pdf and dwg files using Adobe Acrobat and Draftsight.

    Did a recent Windows update cause this??

    Very annoying.

    When I share an individual window, it works fine.  When I share a screen, my mouse cursor gets all jittery and impossible to fine tune control.  A semi transparent (or flickering) large blackish square appears around the mouse cursor and it moves around making it hard to click on smaller menus and controls.

    I have four monitors, so perhaps that has something to do with it.

    Other people have described these same symptoms to me, but they we are all in the same organization, so perhaps it is an organizational or environmental symptom.

    It does force me to use Zoom to share screen sometimes, because it isn't usable in Teams when it jitters like that.

    I also just started experiencing this problem today, (April 17, 2020). I had screen-shared the past week or so multiple times with no issues. The program I'm sharing is Revit 2020. I don't believe it happened with other programs.

    The top right corner of the window appears to be flickering between the Windows 10 border theme, (dark gray/white) and an older windows theme, Windows 7 perhaps, (shows as blue)? Bizarre.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    Thank you
