Microsoft Teams display issue when sharing whole display

bonykillery · 12-03-2025, 10:26 AM

I’ve experienced similar issues with Teams on Mac when using multiple monitors. One workaround that helped me was setting one external display as the primary monitor in System Preferences before starting the screen share. Sometimes Teams seems to default to the built-in display if no primary display is set. Also, make sure “Displays have separate Spaces” is enabled in Mission Control, it can prevent windows from snapping back to the laptop screen. Hopefully a future Teams update resolves this more permanently.
