Microsoft Teams sharing screen not working

Question

Hi,
I'm having trouble in sharing my screen on Microsoft Teams. My OS is Arch Linux.
In particular using the app, opening the sharing panel nothing seems to happen (it just appears a gray toolbar), while using the browser version the sharing options appear, but selecting "screen" only a black background and the cursor are visible.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hi @Mr-24 ,

Here are some methods on Ubentu:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/8306/screensharing-not-working-in-official-teams-client.html

And this could be helpful on your questions:

Rename the file: /usr/share/teams/resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/slimcore/bin/rect-overlay

Sorry we never use the Arch Linux for testing, so I can only provide you some related articles. Hope these could help.

Best regards,
Lou
