Teams not showing new windows in sharing options
If I open a new program or new window inside a currently running program, Teams does not recognize this as a sharing option. For instance, if I open a new Word document or PowerPoint while I am in a Teams meeting, it will not give me the option to share these new windows. To get these listed on the window sharing list I have to leave and re-join the meeting. (Doing this fixes the problem every time but is not a good long term solution in professional settings.)
This problem began last week and persists through a clean install of Teams along with clearing the user cache.
amkaestner have you tried disable the option new experience for meetings in teams options?
amkaestner Do you now if Microsoft has registered an Issue with that topic? We are presenting the same issue, just imagine a large school with teachers blaming because they can't can share as they did 1 month before.
ois_cesaramaro just add an issue to Microsoft Teams UserVoice
The same is happening in my tenant as well. Turning off the new experience as a workaround is not an option. Has anyone from Microsoft even acknowledged this as a bug so it will be fixed?

- The same is happening to me . I need to leave and re-enter to the meeting so the sharing options update the windows. Extremely annoying
amkaestnerI have the same issue, but when I re-open Teams windows of apps become visible. This problem has appeared few days ago. And as I know this problem doesn't touch only me. All my colleagues have the same problems, also colleagues from another companies have same bugs. Maybe it is related with some updates from Windows?
- The same if you close the sharing pane and re open it?
adam deltinger Yes, closing and reopening the share pane has no effect.
