Cannot Share Edge Window in SfB Meeting?

Is there something I am doing wrong. Of all the applications I can "Share Window" Edge is not one of them. Seems odd I have to use Chrome to utilize a Microsoft product. Is there something I am missing?

    Same issue.  

     

    I had to reboot and switch over to IE before it would start working again.  The reliability (not only this edge limitation) of this tool is a common source of delays on meetings at our organization.

    The reason is because Edge is a "Modern" app, and Skype for Business can't share any modern apps. It's been a known issue for a long time, and is quite frustrating. I resort to sharing the whole desktop if appropriate.

      Thanks Loryan Strant, I have found that when creating "How-to" videos that using the "Share window" makes a much better "close up" of what I'm doing. 

       

      I appreciate the knowledge! Will stick with Chrome. :(
