I am joining through the web browser using the most updated version of google chrome, I am only using voice, no video. I also made sure that my internet connection was strong enough with the capacity for the bandwidth etc. The first time i was on a Teams meeting, it worked smoothly. Could i be having a permissions issue? Please Help!!!

    First make sure that you are at least a presenter in the meeting. Second you have to check the permissions on chrome for Teams. I would prefer using the desktop app if I were you.

    Hi @Kelli Lord

    Do you have the same issue in Teams desktop client?

    In this case, you could try checking the following settings:

    1. Ensure that the "Allow desktop sharing" option is enabled in the MS Teams settings. For more details about its settings, you could refer to:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/meeting-policies-content-sharing#screen-sharing-mode

    1. Check that the correct screen is selected for sharing. Sometimes MS Teams might show a gray screen if there are multiple displays connected to your computer and the wrong display is selected.
    2. Ensure that your device's display drivers are up-to-date.
