Description

---

We connect to our own instance of Jitsi Meet. When trying to share a screen/window using the Electron 2025.2.0 app on Windows the loading spinner shows but no screen/window is loaded to share. It works when I connect through the browser and I can share without problems. It used to work with the previous version of Jitsi Meet Electron. My collegue, on Windows 10, has the same issue. I'm on Windows 11.

What Jitsi Meet version do you use in your instance?

Our admin can't currently check, but he says it is an old version, older than a year, running with ConfBridge.
I'll come back to you once I have the exact version

running with ConfBridge.

What is that? If it's over a year old they'll need to update.
