When screen sharing people see black screen
- May 20, 2021
Hi Viren_Manek;
Believe is ISP related.
Change the QoS setting in Teams fixed the problems for us.
Your tenant admin needs to change this:
Teams Admin> Meetings > Meeting Settings > Network
Turn off -> Insert Quality of Service (QoS) markers for real-time media traffic
Also update Teams client to the latest version.
Log-out and log back in.
Restart your Teams app.
You may need to wait for the change to kick in.
Good luck.
Regards
Tenny
Hi Viren. I have what appears to to be the same problem when using MS Teams. My symptoms are the same as others have reported. The Teams App on Win10 is giving the problem. Using it through the browser is fine. My ISP is Dodo. Have you found a solution yet?
1. I cannot share my screen. All other users see when I share are black windows. My video that I share is very jittery and will stick with one image of me for minutes before refreshing, only to get stuck again. My image quality is really bad. I can see and hear other participants with no problems to a high level of quality. My audio to them is fine. This started for me about two months ago and happens consistently.
User Profiles with Teams Access.
2. I have three Teams profiles from different organisations and it happens no matter which combinations I use and with other people.
Computers
3. I have tested between two computers side-by-side and can replicate the problem. They are:
a: Lenovo T14 AMD, Windows 10 19043.985 fully reinstalled to a blank HDD on 19 May 2021. MS Teams 1.4.00.11161 (64-bit). It was last updated on 19/05/2021. No AV has been installed yet.
b: Lenovo T430u, Windows 10 19041.985. MS Teams 1.4.00.11161 (64-bit). It was last updated on 18/05/2021.
3.1 I have tried both the built-in webcams and a Microsoft webcam.
4. I have tested with other colleagues running other brands of computers. I can see and hear them fine. They experience the symptoms above when trying to see me.
5. Both computers are have fully up to date drivers.
5.1 SpeedTest reports a 51Mb download and 16Mb upload on the web connection.
Troubleshooting:
6. I have fully bypassed my Wifi and connected directly via CAT6 to the Router/Modem for both computers.
7. I have tried two different modems. 1. The Dodo supplied Huawei HG659 AND a Netgear DB200 (fully patched)
8. I have tried initiating a VPN connection using Windscribe and the problem persists.
Getting it to work:
9. I have connected both of the computers above via wifi to a Telstra supplied NetGear Nighhawk LTE Mobile Router with Telstra data SIM. (Thereby removing Dodo from the equation entirely). Teams works perfectly with no interruptions between my computers and with other colleagues.
To me this points to the ISP being the problem.
Has anyone come up with a workable solution apart from chaning ISP?
I changed ISP from Dodo to Internode.
No more issues.

DarylHartwell I received the same SMS & can confirm it is now all resolved
- G_MoriartyJul 26, 2021Copper ContributorCan I ask exactly what Dodo said the issue was? I have the same issue with Optus and it is like talking to a brick wall with their support, it appears their only solution is to reset the router which is frustrating to say the least.
