    I tried signing out and back in and it worked... will do this for more employees and update if it worked for them too.

We've also been experiencing this issue over the past several days. It is very intermittent.

    I'm also experiencing the same issue. Teams screen sharing is disabled.

    First I thought it is related to my Ubuntu upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.

    Because with newer Ubuntu versions the default display server is now Wayland and no longer X11/X.org.

    But I tried some solutions I found in some articles on the web, but nothing helped.

    Afterwards I found this report here where also Windows user are affected.

     

    What I already tried:

    1.) Disable Wayland safe mode:
    global.context.unsafe_mode=true

     

    2.) Disable Wayland completely with below configuration:
    vi /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
    WaylandEnable=false

     

    3.) Or only start a desktop session directly with X11/X.org without disabling Wayland completely

     

    4.) Instead of using Teams as a Debian package (*.deb), I also tried the Snap package, but this also did not help.
