This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
It is great to see this eventuate and I hope development continues.
Screen sharing crashes teams app, Fedora 30 Workstation / Gnome desktop / Wayland. As this is Electron, it is worth noting the same problem was not observed using genuine Chrome browser
When the crash occurs, the app "restarts" and may require a new login.(actual process does not finish)
Video and audio work well, did not ask permission to use mic, cam.
Closing the Teams window leaves app running - tray widget sort of thing. Unclear if mic/cam would still be active (hot mic danger zone, perhaps)

FWIW, I have put together instructions for those in a hurry,

Thanks a lot, the X11 Revival worked for me after reboot, easy!
In my custom.conf file, the line DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop was absent and the revival worked anyway without adding it (Fedora 31).

@Jörg Faschingbauer thank you for sharing these instructions. Just a couple notes on annoyances listed there, they both can be easily switched off from within the client itself.
Just go to settings in Profile menu:
And uncheck the first two settings here
it doesn't work, I tried to remove the flags

Teams is a great tool and it works better than most other video conferencing/screen sharing apps.
This issue (Teams crash on screen sharing) affects me too on Ubuntu 19.10 / Gnome-Desktop / Wayland
Workaround 1: Using X-Server - works but I'd prefer to use Wayland.
Workaround 2: Using Chrome - CPU running hot and not all applications can be shared.
Any progress with supporting Wayland?

I am also force by the lockdown to use Teams and by my touchscreen to use Wayland.
No screen sharing for Teams under Wayland is a real show stopper to me.

I was able to share my entire screen with Teams while using it online in Chrome with Wayland and Fedora 32. You need to enable a flag in Chrome so that it can use Pipewire as a method to share the screen. I found out that this is not a Teams problem, but rather a Wayland issue on sharing screens. You probably can't share in Skype neither if you try, or in the Firefox test page mentioned in the link below. This is a temporary fix so that we can share the screen on Teams with Chrome, though the problem persists when we don't use Chrome and try to share the screen natively.
Follow the link for more details on the setup:
https://jgrulich.cz/2019/08/01/tutorial-screen-sharing-and-remote-desktop-on-fedora-workstation-30/
If it doesn't work, maybe try following the 2 links below too:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop
https://jgrulich.cz/2018/07/04/how-to-enable-and-use-screen-sharing-on-wayland/
In my research, I tried all of them and now it works, so I can't tell if just following one of them will do it. I'm confident though that the first link only should do it.
OBS: I wouldn't know the technical details behind this, I'm just a regular Linux user (that needs to use Wayland) that found a fix to my issue and thought of sharing for everyone

Microsoft Teams is crashing on Wayland once i try to use screensharing
Gnome, Arch Linux, tested on 20 March 2020. With X11 it works. I don't know how to debug the issue.
The device is a DELL XPS 13 (9570). GPU is Intel UHD Graphics 620.
Is there any workaround for this to use the screensharing feature of Microsoft Teams with Wayland Gnome?
Use Teams in Chrome browser rather than the packaged version. There are various problems with other browsers for this - Firefox, Chromium.
