No desktop sharing on Teams for Linux (Fedora)

Hi everyone,

I'm on a Fedora 33 system and running the 1.3.00.30857-1 version of Teams.

Since a couple of weeks ago I'm no longer able to share anything else but two Powerpoint files that I received during previous calls. The desktop option is not listed and no other app windows either. A screenshot is attached57420-screenshot-from-2021-01-18-08-49-59.png.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I had the same issue with Fedora running Gnome under Wayland. Try using X.Org instead of Wayland.

This was the solution for me, i've changed on the config file like it is said on the official fedora docs(Link below) and it worked like a charm

Hi @CatalinDima-7858

Does anyone else have the same issue in your organization?

I am sorry for any inconvenience for lacking desktop sharing in Teams for Linux. Unfortunately, we cannot login in Teams in Fedora normally due to environment network connection, so we cannot reproduce the issue you provided. Can you try to downgrade the version of Teams to see if it can be fixed for you?

Hi Jimmy,

I downgraded to version 1.3.00.25560-1 and the only outcome is that the MS Whiteboard app disappeared. Still only the two powepoint files available for sharing and no desktop. Here's the printscreen : 57578-screenshot-from-2021-01-18-13-25-54.png So it seems it's rather a configuration problem.

Thanks,
Catalin

Hi, Jimmy,

I'm really annoyed of this bug. I only managed to remove the two files appearing in the Powerpoint list, so now I see an empty list of Powerpoint files that can be shared but no Desktop, no Windows. How is that possible ?

Hi @CatalinDima-7858

Have you tried to uninstall Teams client and reinstall it manually by running the following command?

 sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
     
 sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[teams]\nname=teams\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/ms-teams\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/teams.repo'
     
 sudo dnf check-update
 sudo dnf install teams
