Thank you for releasing MS Teams (You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.10453 (64-bit).) for Ubuntu 22.04.
Currently no screen sharing options are available in MS Teams meetings when participating from MS Teams Desktop on Ubuntu 22.04.

Is there a configuration task, or is screen sharing not supported?

    On Google Chrome it is now possible to share either windows or screens by setting chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer to Enabled, no need to switch back to Xorg.

    The disabling of the Wayland security option as described here didn't work for me, so if you want sharing using the desktop app, reverting to Xorg seems the only solution for now.

    The solutions is to edit this file

    sudo vim /etc/gdm3/custom.conf 

    [daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
**WaylandEnable=false**

    Add this line reboot, and works great again!

    On Ubuntu 22.04, screen sharing is not enabled, as Ubuntu 22.04 is comes with Wayland instead of Xorg. So to do that, you can follow fix MS Teams screen sharing on Ubuntu 22.04
