Issue with shareAppContentToStage

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and the Teams SDK (C#). I have a working application, but am trying to use the shareAppContentToStage JS function. I am able to confirm with logging statements ...

Tim_Walker513 - Thanks for reporting your issue.
Could you please share which sample you are referring to? Any repro steps would be really helpful.

So no sample - this is an app I wrote for myself. Simple app that has a static tab and a configurable tab that launches in to a side panel app. That app then has a button that is supposed to launch the center stage. I was able to figure it out (not easy, as this is not documented any where that I can find), but still having issues if I call GetUserInfoAsync() - that call appears to remove the shareAppContentToStage from the microsoftTeams.meeting javascript object.

    Tim_Walker513 -

    When you click on launch a device you can fetch the current user who is launching the stage view by calling app.getContext() and accessing loginHint property.
    Doc ref: Get context by using the Microsoft Teams JavaScript library
    You can pass this as query string parameter as part of app content URL.
    // Note: Please use the code from doc reference.

    JavaScript

    app.getContext().then((context: Context) => {
    var appContentUrl = "https://www.demo.com/device?launchedBy="+context.loginHint;
        microsoftTeams.meeting.shareAppContentToStage((err, result) => {
            if (result) {
                // handle success            }
            if (err) {
                // handle error            }
        }, appContentUrl);
});

    Thanks,
