    list-menuFeedback?

    Cross waffle patterns while sharing application or desktop on Windows 8 or 10.

    Attendees see cross hatched patterns, during desktop share.

    Attendees see visual distortions while desktop sharing on a Windows 10.

    Screen has cross hatched patterns when sharing an application or desktop on Windows 8 or 10.

    This is an expected behavior while sharing desktop/application.

    The crosshatched patterns are the shadows of the floating panels (such as chat and participant list), that are displayed on top of the shared desktop/application. Refer to the screenshots below:

    The host can move the panels (to be non-obstructive) or enable clear-view mode.
     
    Note:

    • In clear-view mode, all meeting controls, panels, and notifications will be hidden.
    • press ESC or press Ctrl+Shift+Q, to exit clear-view mode.
