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.

Whats the cause

Regards

Adam

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.

    Since I´m using a Ultra Wide Monitor with 3440 pixels, sharing the screen is sadly not an option at all.

    The flickering stopped a few days ago while sharing the whole screen. Had to completely uninstall Teams, delete the cache,... and after a fresh setup I did not have the flickering in full screen sharing anymore.

    But as written below, sharing a 3440 pixel widescreen monitor is not a working solution. ;(

    This is a bug in Microsoft Teams and only happens when sharing a Window, specifically PDFs Windows.

    This solution worked when presenting to 1 individual and a group of individuals.  Thank you.
