Zoom shows only whiteboard sharing option when I try to share screen

This is really strange. After a recent upgrade, I am getting only the Whiteboard option. Please see the screenshots below.

If I remember correctly, I am supposed to get the options for the whole window and specific applications.

Please see my settings below. Nothing strange there, I believe.

More information,

  1. Installable application.
  2. Ubuntu.

    Instead of looking at your Zoom desktop application settings, you should also look at your Zoom web client's settings (browser), you may click this link: https://zoom.us/profile/setting 

    And go to In Meeting (Basic) and make sure to disable this setting 'Disable desktop screen sharing for meetings you host'.

     


      

    After changing that setting, try creating a test meeting and see if it resolves the issue.
