So I have scoured many message boards and have not been able to come up with anything that has worked for solving this issue. Windows 10 machine running Chrome, and when in a Google Meet I am unable to directly share my screen. When I click on the Share button, I get the options of Entire Screen, Window and Tab, but no matter which I click, nothing happens, the button just greys out. When I close out the meeting, the error message "Can't share your screen. Sorry, an error has occurred when screen sharing." I have tried all of the following with no success:

  1. Clearing all browsing history
  2. Resetting teh browser back to default
  3. Checking to make sure Google Meet can use the microphone and camera

This does work in other browsers (Edge) but I need this to work in Chrome, since that is the platform the school uses. Something else of note, if I open a Google Doc or a Slides presentation, and then choose to present in a meeting, it will show that tab just fine. But I have to have the tab already open and share from there, not where the Google Meet is. If I try to open any other option, I get a different error message "Something went wrong. If you're sharing to a meeting, please select the current tab and try again. To share other tabs, go to Meet > Present"

I am attaching all screen shots I have mentioned.
