Unable to share screen from chrome browser on Mac OS Catalina 10.15 and above

If your Mac runs on OS version Catalina 10.15 and above, screen sharing from the chrome browser may not work even after enabling the necessary permissions as shown in the screenshot below. 


 
This is due to a bug that exists in the Google Chrome browser. Please update your Chrome browser to the latest version (99.0.4484.83) to share your screen.

Black screen issue

When a Ubuntu user tries to share the entire screen, a black screen issue will occur. This happens because the Wayland-type display server is enabled in Ubuntu OS version 20.04.

Solution:
  1. Open terminal and type the following command - sudo edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
  2. In the file that appears, uncomment the following line - #WaylandEnable=false and save changes.
  3. This will enable Xorg display manager.
  4. Go to your terminal again and type the following comment - sudo systemctl restart gdm3 or reboot the system.

Allow microphone/camera/screen sharing access issue 

The Safari browser asks permission to allow microphone, camera and screen sharing access every time it starts a call or meeting.

Solution:
You can enable permission for your browser to allow microphone, camera or screen share access automatically by doing the following:
  1. Go to Safari and select Preferences.
  2. Click the Websites tab and select Camera, Microphone, or Screen Sharing. You will find a list of currently open websites.
  3. Select Allow for cliq.zoho.com.
