Mouse flickering during Screen Screen in Win. 10 Chrome Jitsi Web Version

Developers Jitsi Meet API

Hi — first forum post here I go! So I can’t seem to replicate this on Mac OS but for the past month or so our Jitsi Meet custom server clients on Win. 10 Google Chrome (latest versions) have been complaining about a flickering cursor issue when they are sharing their ‘Entire Screen.’ This problem does not occur when using the ‘Chrome Tab’ or ‘Window’ sharing options. The video feed seems to be fine except for the cursor being duplicated many times (especially during quick movements or when viewing long MS Word documents). Here are a couple of screenshots:

I could not find any threads on this — has anyone experienced anything similar? Any suggestions?

Have you tried reproducing this on screens with lower resolution? Do you see it there?

Other than that, there is nothing we can do, as this is internal implementation in the browsers. Maybe try different browser and see how it behaves … there.

This is a bug in Chrome which was fixed 4 days ago, it should trickle down to users soon: 1421656 - chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail

Nopthing we can do on our end, sorry.
