I'm using Fedora 32 and when I'm in call and try to share the screen, Teams (version 1.3.00.16851-1) just shuts down and restart. I've tried uninstalling and installing again the desktop app but it still don't work.

    Hi!

    Thanks for your feedback!

    Do you share screen in Teams for Linux with Wayland?

    In this case, we recommend you try to check if you can share screen by using Teams in Chrome browser.

    Besides, you can also try to use X11 revival to see if works for you. For more details, you can refer to:

    In Fedora switch from Wayland to Xorg and the screen sharing will work in Teams. You can switch back and forth between them in your GDM login screen. If Xorg is not in your list then it needs installed.
