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.

    Hello Adam,

    Thanks for your posting.

    Please try to restart PC to see if the problem is solved.    

           If that doesn’t work, please download the Network Assessment Tool to evaluating your network environment. You just need to click the link and follow the instructions.

    You are welcome to contact me if you have any other problems

    Best Regards,

    Felix

    Hi Felix

    I've tried restarting my computer, and have installed the Network Assessment Tool (although I don't know what it does?), and still the flickering persists.

    If I unshare a screen then reshare on Teams, sometimes the flickering is reduced, but tends to come back in time.

    I've noticed it was very bad when I was sharing PDF drawings (possibly when the files are large?). I see other people's screens flickering when they share PDFs on Teams with me as well. Maybe there is a problem when multiple PDFs are open?

    Today an AutoCAD file was flickering when presented to me on Teams. And when I presented my AutoCAD drawing it flickered so much it almost made me feel ill.

    Do you have any solutions please?

    Thanks 

    Victoria
