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.

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.

    When in a video call, the video will shake a little to make the picture look blurry.

    I've had the same issue. Sharing Application windows resulted into flickering. Sharing whole desktop was oke.

    By checking the "Disable GPU hardware acceleration (requires restarting Teams)" checkbox in MS Teams Settings solved this issue for me.

    Sorry, but that does not solve it. I have the latest version and still the flicker happens. I think It has not been solved yet by Microsoft.

    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.
