Zoom on Ubuntu does not allow to share screen

I use Zoom on Ubuntu 20.04. Video and Audio is fine and when I'm not in a meeting "Share Screen" is not grayed out. But during a meeting this button becomes inactive and I can't share anything. Any idea why?

Hey @vfridman this maybe an issue in other meeting platforms as well per this forum on "Screen Share Not working in Ubuntu 22.04 (In all platforms zoom, teams, google meet, anydesk , etc.,...", let me know if that was helpful!
