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
My ISP is iprimus.. been 1 week now with no resolution.
Adriana_001 update overnight is that my issue has now been fixed - I can share my screen in Team while using the Huawei modem. I have no idea who and what was done. A bit concerning when I don't know what happened / what was done to resolve the issue.

- StreethawkOct 16, 2021Copper ContributorI had similar issue - difference in my case was that the problem of black screen share and stuck video, was a problem on wired ethernet connection only. Wi-Fi was fine but I as a network engineer I wanted to understand the problem.
Anyhow, I still don’t know what the root cause although it appears QoS related.
The fix that worked for me:
- on your router block your LAN traffic ( source) going to internet on port 3479,3480 and 3481 destination
- in other words - block Lan Traffic source ; destination internet and destination ports: 3479,3480 and 3481.
I believe this forces mSTeams traffic to go via port 443 which is what the web version uses.
I hope it works for you.
- Adriana_001Jul 07, 2021Copper ContributorUpdate 7th July - update overnight is that IPRIMUS has fixed the issue. They said many people had called with the same "Black Screen" issue when sharing your screen in MS Teams. They did not say exactly what they did.
- atlacatlJul 08, 2021Copper ContributorAs for a suggestion of a mate of mine, I entered a registry key to disable QoS all together for Teams. My understanding has been that you have to deploy a GPO to enable QoS for Teams as per following article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/qos-in-teams-clients. But it looks like that Teams desktop client is getting its QoS policy from the server, by the setting "Meetings\Meetings Setting\Network\Insert Quality of Service (QoS) markers for real-time traffic". This is my opinion, since I have not found any information to back it up.
How I fix it:
1. I created the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\QoS" and the following registry entries under it (this entries are in the article but with the QoS values):
Name: Application Name
Type: REG_SZ
Data: Teams.exe
Name: DSCP Value
Type: REG_SZ
Data: 0 (This is Zero to disable QoS)
Name: Local IP
Type: REG_SZ
Data: *
You need to reboot.
Apparently, Microsoft is coming up with a fix in August.- JulieKeenaJul 08, 2021Copper Contributor
atlacatl Tried registry fix & did not resolve the issue.
I have spoken to Dodo technicians & been advised they are aware of the issue (approx 5000 customers are affected). It has been escalated & they are working closely with other ISP's & Microsoft to get it fixed.
Received an SMS from Dodo 1/7 "Your MS Teams apps issue is still under investigation by the network team. We will get in touch with you as soon as we have further updates"
I will be ringing them again today or tomorrow & hopefully get a more recent update for us all
