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.

    I have the same problem, with the same app.  My temporary fix is to share the desktop rather than the program window, however this is not ideal, since I don't actually want to show my students my whole desktop due to potential privacy issues (I'm online-teaching, and using OpenBoard as my whiteboard).

    Check to see what version of windows you're using by typing "winver" in the windows search box on the bottom left hand of your screen. If you're on windows version 1909, I would recommend that you ask your IT to update your OS to 2004. After I upgraded my laptops to Windows version 2004, the problem no longer occurs.

    This fixed it for me!  Thanks so much.
