    So, we ended finally found this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3150900/black-or-frozen-screen-when-you-share-your-screen-in-skype-for-busines We don't know how or when but several of our users had that registry key. When a user w/out that key was initiating a screen share it would pause (black screen with white pause icon in top left). If a user with those registry keys initiated the screen sharing it works because those w/out the reg key would I guess "fall back" to RDP protocol. So we're working on collecting all machines in our firm that have that registry key and removing.
