Running Microsoft Office 365 Powerpoint on Android 10 and Android 11 tablets

Screencasting to Samsung 75" TV

When advancing slides screen goes black in presenter mode, on any android tablet I use. Screen is blank of tablet and TV.

Tablets are exclusively for presenting, so no other 3rd party software has been installed except Office 365

I can "end show" and restart, slide will show

I have noticed other people are having this same issue on various versions:

    Followed your directions exactly, no change.

    Problem unresolved. There are many people experiencing this same issue.

    Note: The problem does not happen on Apple devices using air play using same Office 365 and ipad with AirPlay.

    It is only on android devices using Screencast that Powerpoint goes blank during presentation mode

    Also noticed the problem in Android screencast happens on the slideshow when "USE IN PRESENTER VIEW" option is checked. When using just regular slideshow, everything is ok
