Screen sharing stops working (MS Teams, Google Meet, etc.) in Edge 131

Zhan, Xucong 40

In Edge 131.0.2903.51, screen sharing / presenting in online conference apps (MS Teams, Google Meet, Skype, etc.) stops working.

Screenshot from 2024-11-19 12-27-12

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland. Screen sharing used to work, but now it isn't. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Update: I did a little downgrade check and discovered that the latest Edge 130 works, but the earliest Edge 131 doesn't. So, a regression must be introduced in Edge 131.

By the way, in Chrome 131.0.6778.69, screen sharing works, so this is an Edge-specific issue.

Just to be clear, sharing a window or the entire screen would fail, but sharing another tab works. So I highly suspect this is an Edge regression on Wayland support (and there's no "PipeWire Camera support" in "edge://flags")

I'm experiencing the same issue on Rocky 9.4 (and 9.5) X11 since the last update (or updates now). Currently running: 131.0.2903.51

Problem still exists on Fedora 40 with Wayland with version 131.0.2903.70-1, only sharing a single tab works, a window or the whole screen fail immediately although the small preview window looks good!

Should this be a known issue in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-known-issues ? And there are no release notes for .70 in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnote-stable-channel .

It's not a Wayland specific issue, I have the exact same on kubuntu 22.04.5 LTS with x11. Chromium does not have this problem, rolling back to v130 as a temp fix.

Hi @Zhan, Xucong,

Based on your test and description, this is likely to be a regression issue on Edge 131. Please report this problem to the Edge Dev Team by sending feedback. You can send feedback in Microsoft Edge at ··· menu --> Help and feedback --> Send feedback.

As a workaround, you can temporarily roll back to Edge 130 or use Edge insider channels. Thanks for your understanding.

Reverting to version 130 worked for me, this is definitely a bug that was introduced in 131+.

To list the previous version available (Rocky 9 linux)
sudo dnf list --showduplicates microsoft-edge-stable

Look for the latest version of 130, should be 130.0.2849.80-1

Revert to previous to latest version of 130
sudo dnf install microsoft-edge-stable-130.0.2849.80-1

Full screen sharing should work as expected after downgrading. You can also add a version lock to prevent future updates until a fix is provided.

Experienced the same issue on version 131.0.2903.51. I downgraded the package to version 130.0.2849.80 and marked it as held until the bug is fixed :

$ sudo apt install microsoft-edge-stable=130.0.2849.80-1 $ sudo apt-mark hold microsoft-edge-stable
