Anyone noticed, how Google Meet screen sharing on macOS is broken on a daily basis? I then always check for an update and then after a restart of chrome, it works again. Next day, it has some weird issue again.

But boy is it annoying. I wonder if it is an Apple Silicon only issue.

Same issue here on Intel MacBook Pro 2020.

It seems the OSX permissions for Chrome Screenshare, Mic and Video get reset quite frequently. I can't pinpoint exactly what triggers it. If it's a Chrome update or OSX update.

EDIT: Just updated Chrome to 100 and sure enough it lost screen recording permissions. Camera and Mic were kept though.

If I had to guess it probably has to do with how Chrome updates itself, which is likely causing the OS to see it as a new binary that hasn’t had permissions set after each update.

I've been seeing this problem too at $JOB. Amusingly, the people on my team that use Firefox don't have these issues, but the Chrome users are seemingly losing the ability to screenshare daily.

I think this may be a somewhat more specific to your environment...I'm running on a new generation macbook pro (so M1+) and haven't had any trouble screen sharing

No, this is definitely a much more widespread issue than that. Every single person that has tried to screenshare in my Google Meet meetings the past week has experienced the same problem.
