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.

    MS Support said, "No resolution in sight. This is a long-term fix." 

    Frankly, I'm very uncomfortable with the "long term" aspect of this case.

    I would appreciate it if you guys would submit an SR to the MS.

    With the help of our numbers, we might be able to move MS.

    k Doi, have you tried O_Jason's fix on this form? (It's at the bottom of page 5). That patch fixed it for me and multiple clients.

    Thank you!

    Yes. We also avoided the event by dragging and dropping the PDF into the browser.

    Though, I don't know how to drag and drop a PDF into Chromium Edge.

    The above description seems to be a misunderstanding of mine.

    I'll double check the method you taught me.

    *"*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."*

    Please, dont come with restart and suspecting the network connection.  There is a problem with Teams, and i have not seen such problem with other conf tools, like Webex or Zoom or Skype and others, never.

    This flicker always happens when changing application on the other screen, which may happen when trying to take notes, looking up stuff or trying to figure out who is in the session in the first place. For example, when sharing power point in presentation mode on one screen and switching application on the other screen, from power point to something else. 

    it is now Dec, and i still have this issue. 

    regards
