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)

    Ah yes, thank you! Should have checked more thoroughly. Page updated.
    Would be great though if the defaults could be changed for Linux, as people here in Linuxland tend to not expect such behavior.

    Same here, we are using teams and it doesn't work with Wayland

    Screen sharing now works for me on Wayland with Teams for Linux version 1.3.00.5153 and an up to date version of Gnome 3.36.2 on Arch Linux :-)
