I despise Teams but when I was forced to use it for work and screensharing didn't work, I had to flee back to X.

Any updates from Microsoft on this issue?

Zoom is currently the same - the client finally runs in Wayland, but you can't screenshare. So it's X for now...

The "update" is that the Teams Desktop Application for Linux was discontinued last year, and the only supported way to use Teams on Linux is now to open https://teams.microsoft.com in Google Chrome or Chromium (audio/video calls don't work on Firefox).

Since Chrome/Chromium supports screen sharing with Wayland, it simply just works for me nowy while it never worked with the Elecrton-based desktop application.

I could not get Teams to even install on Xorg. At the time, screen sharing did not work in the browser.

Thankfully, my employer uses Google Meet for most of the meetings.
