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 Ubuntu 22.04, screen sharing is not enabled, as by default MS Teams Desktop 22.04, follow this tutorial to fix the screen sharing on Ubuntu 22.04
Single window sharing works with:
Chrome Version 103.0.5060.53 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Ubuntu 22.04 + Wayland
Sharing the entire screen does not work, but a sharing a window is good enough for many scenarios.
A solution is given here

I wouldn't say this is a solution. It's definitely a workaround.
The solution would be for MS to update electron for the MS Teams app and implement a proper screen sharing solution, which works on both Xorg and Wayland.
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
Dropping Wayland just to have screensharing in MS Teams was not a good deal for me, so instead:
