Cannot share screen properly on Microsoft Teams

I have Fedora 34 Workstation and I cannot properly share screen on Microsoft Teams with Google Chrome.

If I share the entire screen, both me in the preview and the other participants after I share see it fully black, they only see a black box that fill all the screen.

If I share a single windows it works now and then. But, in this case, if I stop sharing and then re-share another window, participant still see the old window, even if I closed the application that generated that window in the meantime. To change window I have to exit the meeting and re-enter.

Plus I cannot share the window of some applications like Master PDF Editor.

Have you checked an other browser? Same result?

With Firefox Microsoft Teams does not work at all.

So I’m not sure what other browser I should check.

I have Brave but didn’t check with it. I assume the results would be the same.

Did you see this?

I can certainly install the proprietary app, but due to security concerns over proprietary apps I would prefer the web application to work

Moreover, it used to work before I updated my system, so I think it is a regression.

Does anyone else have this same problem?

I am facing same issue. I can share screen from Edge Browser but they see just black screen with cursor.

I have teams app as well and I can’t share screen from there at all. I don’t see anything in share tray to select.

Facing the same issue even on the proprietary app. Clicking the share button, the list to choose Desktop to share is blank, This used to work correctly last week… :frowning:
Not sure which updates were installed (teams or OS upgrades)

There was a Kernel update from 5.11 to 5.12 on the weekend. You might try an older Kernel version. But i guess this issue has todo with your Graphic card. Changes the Kernel it messes up the driver.

Sharing in MS Teams in both Chrome/Chromium and Microsoft Edge works under Wayland if you enable the webrtc-pipewire flag:
chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer
edge://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer
