Ubuntu HOST laptop cannot screens share in MS Teams

Reported June 2023 - IAFG We often communicate, and have debug sessions using Microsoft Teams, (or Zoom). During a session on Teams it is helpful to share the screen of the Ubuntu Host.

Current Ubuntu distributions (22.04) may only enable Wayland graphics by default. However X is required in order for screensharing to work with TEAMs and ZOOM (possibly others).

Depending on your LInux distribution you may be able to switch to X simply by logging out. Use the small gear icon in the lower right of the screen to then select Ubuntu using X.

Follow this guide to enabling X on Ubuntu Linux to allow screen sharing:

Below is a copy of the instructions given in the link:

To disable Wayland and use xorg only:

  1. Open your terminal and write sudoedit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

  2. Uncomment the value waylandEnabled=false -- just remove the #

Press Ctrl+O then Enter then Ctrl+X

  • Reboot your computer.
