Microsoft Teams window sharing doesn't show newly opened applications

Question

Hi, we have noticed we cannot share a window if the window was opened after the meeting started.

We have tested it on several windows 10 clients.

For exampel: When i'm already in a teams meeting and open a excel document now, i can't find the excel application in the sharing menu for windows. As workaround i have to share my whole screen.

Am i the only one with this issue?

PDostiyar&nbsp;&nbsp;This seems to be a bug when the New Meeting Experience is enabled. We have seen this across all our customers and on our new devices including brand new installations.&nbsp;There is a bug reported too&nbsp;https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/908686-bug-reports/suggestions/41924173-can-t-share-new-app-window-that-is-opened-after-a&nbsp;&nbsp;

PDostiyar&nbsp;&nbsp;Turning on&nbsp;hardware acceleration and restarting teams doesn't help. no difference.&nbsp;Only way to work around is to disabled the new meeting experience which is unfortunate.&nbsp;&nbsp;

PDostiyar&nbsp;&nbsp;in the latest version&nbsp;1.3.00.30866 this seems fixed now. Myself works and also several customers report back positive
