Hi waydabber,

Microsoft Teams on macOS uses the NSWindow object with the property .sharingType = .none for screen sharing control. As a result, these windows are not visible on external DisplayLink screens. This become a hot issue in the beginning of this year. To address this DisplayLink implemented a workaround that detects such objects and makes them visible. However, this approach comes with a trade-off: reduced performance.

Ideally, Microsoft would resolve this issue in Teams for macOS, but so far, no fix has been provided. Apple explicitly recommends using SCContentFilter to exclude UI elements that are not intended for streaming, which seems like the proper solution.

Regards,
Szymon
