Anyone noticed, how Google Meet screen sharing on macOS is broken on a daily basis? I then always check for an update and then after a restart of chrome, it works again. Next day, it has some weird issue again.
But boy is it annoying. I wonder if it is an Apple Silicon only issue.
It seems the OSX permissions for Chrome Screenshare, Mic and Video get reset quite frequently. I can't pinpoint exactly what triggers it. If it's a Chrome update or OSX update.
EDIT: Just updated Chrome to 100 and sure enough it lost screen recording permissions. Camera and Mic were kept though.
If I had to guess it probably has to do with how Chrome updates itself, which is likely causing the OS to see it as a new binary that hasn’t had permissions set after each update.
I've been seeing this problem too at $JOB. Amusingly, the people on my team that use Firefox don't have these issues, but the Chrome users are seemingly losing the ability to screenshare daily.
I think this may be a somewhat more specific to your environment...I'm running on a new generation macbook pro (so M1+) and haven't had any trouble screen sharing
No, this is definitely a much more widespread issue than that. Every single person that has tried to screenshare in my Google Meet meetings the past week has experienced the same problem.
