Hello all, as per the title description it was allw orking fine until latest days. When I share my full desktop in teams, other people sees a black screen, but sharing a single application works.

I've tried with the web app and it works fine, it's the local installation that is not working.

I've already tried to reinstall Teams and cleared all the cache but issue persist.

Anyone can help me out? it's driving me nuts

Thanks

Carlo

    I had the same problem on debian 10 with XMonad window manager and this solution worked perfectly - i.e. removing /usr/share/teams/resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/slimcore/bin/rect-overlay

    The 1.3.00.16851 version also isn't working for me. (Linux Mint 19.2, i3 desktop)

    The same for me (Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid, i3 desktop).

    For all Linux users working on a bare window manager (such as, i3, awesome, Window Maker, fluxbox, blackbox, iceWM, and so on) without a composer (like compton), take a look at -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/42095/sharing-screen-not-working-anymore-bug.html

    The issue is back on 1.3.00.16851 linux version. I had to went back to 1.3.00.5153 version.

    The 1.3.00.16851 version also isn't working for me. (Linux Mint 19.2, i3 desktop)

    When I share my screen, I get a black overlay with a red border which is occluding everything.
