Hi @maxschorr 

 

To troubleshoot the issue, navigate to Zoom's Advanced Screen Sharing Settings.

Within the Zoom application, access the Settings menu, then select Share Screen and click on Advanced. Here, you'll find the option for Hardware acceleration for screen sharing. Try toggling this setting, either enabling or disabling it, to see if it resolves the problem
