Hello, I am still facing this bug. 1 user using Windows sharing screen to 2 Mac users.

Good news. I just pushed out an update (v1.0.16 on Windows) which should fix this. Sorry it took this long!

Merged in a post:
With dual screens, when sharing one, sharee sees rapid flashing between the two screens

I select one of my screens to be shared. The person viewing sees it rapidly switch between both of my screens

Just so I’m clear, does the flickering mean it’s showing one frame from one monitor and one frame from the other monitor? Or is it flickering between one frame and a different frame in the past?

If you need more info, let me know

Throwing in some data points in case it helps.
Windows 10 host and guest
When host shares 4k primary screen, guest sees flickering
When host shares 1080p secondary screen, there is no flickering
When host starts the screen share and chooses which screen to share, there is also a "middle" choice that spans half of each screen. When selected, both the host and the guest see a black area that blocks out that area.

Jared Nipper: I have 3 screens. 2 1080p, one slightly different. Only one of my 1080p screens works as a screen that I can share. On latest version of Windows 10 (developer mode)

Cameron Tacklind: Not sure if will help, but can you give the resolutions and their monitor indices?

- 1920x1080@60Hz - left display
- 1920x1080@60Hz - right display
- 1680x1050@60Hz - center display (primary)

Jared Nipper: Sorry about that! What OS was the host on? We’re looking into a screen selection bug on Linux right now.
