Our team has identified reports of an issue when attempting to share one's screen on Chromium based browsers (Chrome and Edge) on Windows devices. The streams seem to go blank after a few seconds of inactivity and the user is obliged to move their mouse to render the stream visible again. In the meantime, we would advise users to use Firefox on Windows in order to ensure they are not affected by this. Users on other operating systems (such as MacOS) are not impacted by this issue either.
